Lithogeochemical data from the Fire Lake area in southeastern Yukon, focusing on the Fyre Lake volcanic-hosted massive sulphide deposit. The dataset likely contains chemical composition and rare earth element analyses of chlorite schist and psammitic schists. It was published by the Government of Yukon and last updated in April 2026.
Use Cases
- Classifying rock protolith affinity based on rare earth element patterns mentioned in the description
- Comparing tholeiitic and boninitic meta-volcanic rock compositions in the Fire Lake area
- Analyzing copper-cobalt-gold mineralization zones based on the described West Kona and East Kona zones
- Investigating depositional settings for felsic rocks based on analyses of psammitic schists
Strengths
- Focuses on a specific deposit located about 160 km northwest of Watson Lake
- Describes unique rare earth element patterns for chlorite schist in the Kona zones
- Includes analyses of both mafic and felsic meta-volcanic rocks
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
- Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to a single deposit study
