Mines Stream Sediments
This dataset records the locations of sampling sites where stream sediments were collected and analysed, as part of geochemical survey work related to mineral occurrences in Ireland. Each entry corresponds to a specific stream sediment sample site, providing spatial information that can support mineral exploration, environmental monitoring, and geological research. The dataset is published by the Environmental Protection Agency and covers national territory. It forms part of broader geoscience data on Irish mines and mineral resources, linking sample locations to subsequent laboratory analysis of sediment composition.The location of the sampling site for each stream sediment sampled and analysed.
