Perform Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)

1. To explore the existing datasets, review the eda folder
2. To visualize mineral occurrence data on a map, look for: Latitude, Longitude, Depth, or Elevation values. Use the guide below to get started.

British Columbia, Canada

• Missing columns: year of discovery

mrds.csv

• Relevant columns: latitude, longitude, commod1, commod2, commod3, disc_yr
• Missing columns: depth or elevation of discovery
