Government of Yukon provides a bedrock geology map for the Lansing Range area (NTS 105N). The map describes schistose clastic strata, Cretaceous granitic plutons, and major faults like the Hess and Macmillan faults. Mining activity for argentiferous galena veins occurred from 1976 to 1985, and base metal and gold potential was investigated during the 1990s.
Use Cases
- Analyze bedrock geology and stratigraphy based on descriptions of schistose clastic strata
- Map thermal metamorphic aureoles based on mentions of Cretaceous granitic plutons
- Study fault systems and structural geology based on references to the Hess, Macmillan, and Robert Service Thrust Faults
- Assess mineral exploration potential based on historical mining of argentiferous galena veins and investigation of base metal and disseminated gold
Strengths
- Map includes specific geological features like six Cretaceous granitic plutons
- Description references historical mining activity from 1976 to 1985 and investigations in the 1990s
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
