  • Major and trace element data for plagioclase and whole-rocks from Japan sampled and filtered from the GEOROC online database (http://georoc.mpch-mainz.gwdg.de/georoc, state: 1 January 2017). The data was used to test the recently developed plagioclase porphyry indictor mineral, as described in Williamson et al. (2016, Nature Geoscience, 9: 237-241), on samples from Japan. Japan is considered a negative control as it has no known porphyry deposits, despite showing favourable geology. The data was used in Williamson B.J., Hodgkinson M., Imai A., Takahashi R., Armstrong R.N., Herrington, R.J., 2018. Testing the Plagioclase Discriminator on the GEOROC Database to Identify Porphyry-Fertile Magmatic Systems in Japan, Resource Geology, 68: 138-143.

  • Petrological and geochemical data of sulphides and samples from the Muratdere Cu-Au-Mo porphyry deposit, Turkey. Samples were taken from several boreholes from the Muratdere mine in Western Turkey, courtesy of Stratex International (now Oriole Resources). This data contains petrological photographs and trace element concentration of ore minerals. This data was collected as part of the TeaSe consortium NERC grant in order to determine the concentration and hosting of critical and precious metals in various types of ore deposits and barren rocks from different geological environments. This data was collected and interpreted by researchers at Cardiff University and is used in a paper, available at https://doi.org/10.5382/econgeo.4638.
