A basic set of data: name, latitude, longitude, commodities, record type, and reference were added to a database. Purpose: The dataset was created to provide an index to other sources of information on mineral sites containing nickel, chromium and platinum group elements.

Logical_Consistency_Report: Data were extracted from a number of distinct collections containing existing records of this type of deposit. Consequently the accuracy, currentness, and completeness of these records depends to a great extent on the source datasets. The source information for each record is provided as the attribute "reference". Completeness_Report: Many records lack distinctive names, and have a name like "Unknown" or "Unknown (type)". 933 records have no name at all. Several thousand records have no value for record type (record_tp), and some have values that will be obscure to anyone not well versed in the terminology of the source from which the record came. Most records could be given a standardized site classification (attribute "class") but nearly 3000 remain unclassified.
