**INTRODUCTION**

This project is providing critical information for collaborators and
customers on the major metalliferous mineral resources, metallogenic
patterns, and crustal origin and evolution of mineralizing systems for
the Russian Far East, Alaska, and the Canadian

Cordillera.

**COLLABORATING AGENCIES**

The major collaborating agencies for the project are the Russian Academy
of Sciences, ROSKOMNEDRA, the Alaska Division of Geological and
Geophysical Surveys, the Geological Survey of Canada, the U.S.
Geological Survey, the University of Alaska, Michigan State University,
Exxon Production Research, and the

Geological Survey of Japan. Other Western supporters are Stanford
University, Colorado School of Mines, University of Arizona, the
Northwest Mining Association, the Alaska Miners Association, and the

Society of Economic Geologists.

**CUSTOMERS**

Customers include scientists and managers in major governmental
agencies, universities, private environmental, resource, and information
companies, news media, and professional organizations in North America,
Eastern Asia, and the Russian Far East. A major international customer
is the Commerce Working Group of the Russia-USA Commission.

**GOALS AND BENEFITS**

The major scientific goals and benefits of the project are to: (1)
provide a comprehensive international data base on the mineral resources
of the region that is the first, extensive knowledge available in
English in the West; (2) provide major new interpretations of the origin
and crustal evolution of mineralizing systems and their host rocks,
thereby enabling enhanced, broad-scale tectonic reconstructions and
interpretations; and (3) promote trade and scientific and technical
exchanges between the North America and Eastern Asia. Data from the
project are providing sound scientific data and interpretations for
commercial firms, governmental agencies, universities, and individuals
that are developing new ventures and studies in the project area, and
for land-use planning studies that deal with both mineral potential
issues. The Russian Far East, Alaska and the Canadian Cordillera, have
vast potential for known and undiscovered mineral deposits. In addition,
major belts of mineral deposits (metallogenic belts) and host geologic
units can be traced around the Circum-North Pacific from the Russian Far
East into Alaska and the Canadian Cordillera.

**SUCCESSOR PROJECT**

This project is providing data, methods, and interpretations for a
successor project on the Mineral Resources, Metallogenesis, and
Tectonics of the Northeast Asia (Eastern and Southern Siberia, Mongolia,
Northeastern China, South Korea, and Japan) that is a joint study of
Russian Academy of Sciences, Academy of Sciences of the Sakha Republic
(Yakutia), VNIIOkeangeologia and Ministry of Natural Resources of the
Russian Federation, Mongolian Academy of Sciences, Mongolian University
of Science and Technology, Mongolian National University, Jilin
University, Changchun, China, China, Geological Survey, the Korean
Institute of Geosciences and Mineral Resources, the Geological Survey of
Japan/AIST, and the U.S. Geological Survey.
