       "description": "Thirty-four ore, twenty-nine mine waste, seven host rock, two pegmatite, and one slag sample were collected from iron oxide-apatite (IOA) mines in the eastern Adirondack Highlands near Mineville and Ticonderoga, New York, from March 2016 to August 2018. The waste pile samples included twenty-five samples collected from rubble-sized mine waste piles and four samples from processed tailings piles. The ore from historic iron mines of the eastern Adirondack Highlands, New York, contain abundant quantities of rare earth element (REE)-bearing apatite crystals. These apatite crystals are especially enriched in Y, La, Ce, and Nd. In-ground ore, mine waste piles, and tailings piles could contain apatite and other REE-bearing phases at elevated concentrations indicating potential as REE resources. This is the first geochemical database for a regional subset of IOA ore and mine waste products. Waste pile sampling was accomplished by adapting the sampling strategy outlined by Smith and others (2000, 2006), which included collecting 30 to 50 evenly distributed aliquots (subsamples) from across each waste pile that were composited to form a representative composite sample for the pile. The resulting samples ranged from 12.75 to 32.50 pounds (5.78 to 14.74 kilograms) of material, which were crushed, homogenized, and split prior to geochemical analysis. Major elements were analyzed by wavelength dispersive x-ray fluorescence (WDXRF) and 60-element analyses was completed by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy-mass spectroscopy (ICP-OES-MS). Ore samples were preferably collected in situ from the ore seams, but clasts were collected from waste piles if the ore seam was inaccessible. A wide range in chemical values exists for the ore and waste pile samples. Total REE (lanthanides plus yttrium) varies from 11 to greater than 22,000 parts per million (ppm) for waste piles and 15 to greater than 47,000 ppm for ore samples. All waste pile samples have light REE greater than heavy REE content, with light REE/heavy REE ratio ranging from 1.43 to 35.30, with a median value of 2.14. A positive correlation for all samples exists between REE and Th, indicating the potential for radiometric surveys as a tool for vectoring toward higher grade resources.
