A geological dataset describes the Blende epigenetic zinc-lead-silver deposit in central Yukon. The deposit is hosted by brecciated middle Proterozoic dolomite, with mineralization along a zone about 6 km long and up to 200 m wide. Reserves are estimated at 11.4 million tonnes grading 2.2% Zn, 3.0% Pb and 50.1 g/t Ag, based on 1990 drilling data.
Use Cases
- Estimate mineral resource potential based on the provided tonnage and grade figures
- Analyze geological deposit characteristics based on the described host rock and mineralization zone
- Compare deposit size and composition with other epigenetic zinc-lead-silver deposits
Strengths
- Reserve estimates are quantified with specific tonnage (11.4 million tonnes) and grades (2.2% Zn, 3.0% Pb, 50.1 g/t Ag)
- Geological context is described with specific dimensions (zone about 6 km long and up to 200 m wide) and host rock type
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
