Here are three case studies to illustrate the data mining process: one from the Western USA; one from Eastern Canada; and one from Eastern Australia. These studies range from Archaean lode gold to Ordovician porphyry gold to Tertiary volcanic-hosted gold deposits, and from regional to mining camp scales.
