U-Pb geochronology data for Mindola Deposit, Zambia Copperbelt

U-Pb (Uranium – Lead) geochronology data of rutile from the Mindola Deposit Zambia Copperbelt. Full U/Pb isotope data, uncertainties and calculated ages for individual spot analyses for each sample and standard. Samples from Mindola North, Zambia, taken from the University of Southampton Archive. The samples were from the Kitwe Formation and included Dolomitic Siltstone, Quartz-Carbonate veins, Impure Dolostone and Anhydrite Conglomerate. The Kitwe Formation is the major host to Cu-Co mineralisation at Nkana-Mindola, particularly within the Ore Shale member. At Mindola and Mindola North, the Ore Shale is continuous along strike until a barren gap of siliceous dolostones called the Kitwe Barren gap. Overlying the Ore Shale are a series of quartzite, dolomitic argillites and dolostones of the Rokana Evaporites The remainder of the Kitwe Formation is overlain by the Upper Roan Group carbonates. For geological setting of samples, see Chapter 4 in Kelly, Jamie (2024) Dataset for thesis "Constraining Cu-(Co) mineralisation in sediment-hosted copper deposits using rutile, apatite, and carbonate geochronology".
