The Crescent occurrence is a mineral deposit south of Crescent Lake in Yukon. It consists of sphalerite, pyrrhotite, pyrite, and magnetite within garnet-diopside-epidote-actinolite skarn hosted by sheared schist and hornfels near a Jurassic diorite slab. The dataset is provided by the Government of Yukon and was last updated on 2026-04-17.
Use Cases

- Analyze geological structure and fault relationships based on the description of a south-dipping thrust fault.
- Map regional mineral prospectivity based on the spatial relationship to the Dan prospect 5.8 km to the east.
- Study skarn-hosted mineralization processes based on the described garnet-diopside-epidote-actinolite skarn rock type.
