Teslin Fault Geothermal Exploration Data with 3D Geological Model

Innovate Geothermal Ltd. and Yukon Geological Survey analyzed geoscience data near Teslin, Yukon to assess geothermal potential. The work includes 2D map interpretation and a 3D geologic model guided by gravity and magnetic survey inversion. The dataset was last updated on 2026-04-17.

Use Cases

• Evaluate geothermal gradient estimates based on Curie point depth analysis (~45 °C/km)
• Identify potential drilling locations for exploratory wells based on structural analysis
• Model subsurface fracture permeability based on evidence of a complex structural environment in the Teslin fault zone
• Analyze bedrock composition for fracture potential based on geologic mapping suggesting quartzite and volcanic bedrock

Strengths

• Includes both 2D map interpretation and a 3D geologic model
• Geophysical inversion modelling of gravity and magnetic survey data guided the model
• Proposes a specific 500 m deep scientific research well location

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
