Bedrock Geology of Coal River Map Area (NTS 95D), Yukon

Natural Resources Canada's Geo-mapping for Energy and Minerals (GEM) program and the Yukon Geological Survey jointly funded this bedrock geology product. The data focuses on the Coal River map area within the Selwyn basin, a region known for gold and base metals. The dataset was last updated on April 17, 2026.

Use Cases

• Map bedrock geology units based on the described geological survey.
• Identify potential mineral deposit locations based on the gold and base metals project focus.
• Support regional geological modeling based on the Selwyn basin context.
• Inform land-use and resource management decisions based on the government-produced geological data.

Strengths

• Funded by two authoritative government geological programs: Natural Resources Canada's GEM and the Yukon Geological Survey.
• Focuses on a specific, named geological region: the Selwyn basin and Coal River map area (NTS 95D).

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, localized survey.
