Rock dust from drilling

Hello,

I recently had a geothermal system installed for my house. To build the system, two 450 foot holes were drilled in my backyard. The drilling brings up large quantities of rock dust from the rocks that are drilled through in the process. Most of the dust was trucked out, but there is still quite a bit in my yard. Is this rock dust similar to commercially available rock dust in that it would have value to my garden? Or is it unlikely that these rocks have the necessary variety of nutrients/minerals to offer, and I should keep it out of the garden? Anyone know anything about this? Thanks in advance!
