Data Input

Data input help — available column IDs

Use a column ID from Element, Oxide, Mineral, MineralCategory or RockProperty as your CSV header. For concentrations, append _pct, _ppm, _ppb or _wt%, for example Cu_ppm, Au_ppb, Pyrite_pct, K_Feldspar_wt% or WHITE_MICA_pct. Without a suffix, the default unit below is used. RockProperty columns use the units shown below, for example density uses g/cm³.

Elements are written as the element symbol — Cu, Au, S, As — and oxides as the formula, such as SiO2_pct or Al2O3_pct. Both are listed in full below, with the geochemical group and the geological role each one plays. Element and oxide columns are the solver's main input: minerals, categories and rock properties are observations that constrain it.

An oxide column is converted to its cation before the inversion sees it, by that oxide's own stoichiometry — 60% SiO2 is 28.05% Si — so report the weight percent as the laboratory gave it and do not convert first. FeO and Fe2O3 together are ferrous plus ferric iron and add up; an oxide beside the bare element it converts to (SiO2 and Si) is refused, because counting both would double that element. H2O, CO2 and SO3 are not inputs: the engine solves for volatiles itself, so those columns stay Ignore/Skip.

Exact IDs take priority. Preserve their case to distinguish Chlorite (Mineral) from CHLORITE (MineralCategory), and Feldspar from FELDSPAR. You can specify the type explicitly, for example MineralCategory:CHLORITE_pct. Review the detected type, column ID and unit in the preview; you can change each assignment.

Sample ID, Hole ID, Easting, Northing, Elevation, Depth, From and To are also supported. Unrecognised headers start as Ignore/Skip and are not sent, so an export does not have to be cut down before it is imported.

Example CSV

A column for every element and every mineral the service accepts, in one file — with the metadata, the mineral categories and the two rock properties — over 19 samples from two holes, and values on the ones a laboratory would have measured. Drop it straight back in to see how each column is detected: the empty ones are what may be supplied, not what has to be. It is the same file the MCP bridge installs, so an agent and a person are working from one example.

Your data is safe

No assay data is permanently stored on the server. The servers are stateless: your table is read to run the solver, the results are handed straight back to you, and nothing of either is kept.

Result downloads are held only so the emailed link works, and are deleted permanently after 48 hours. Your data is yours.
