Massive black sphalerite occurs with pyrrhotite and magnetite in up to 3 irregular layers at the Dan property. The mineralization is believed to have replaced brecciated marble in the footwall of a south-dipping thrust fault extending 5.8 km east to Crescent Lake. This dataset from the Government of Yukon describes the geological setting of the prospect and was last updated on April 17, 2026.
Use Cases
- Map mineral deposit layers based on descriptions of sphalerite, pyrrhotite, and magnetite occurrences.
- Analyze structural geology based on the described south-dipping thrust fault.
- Model ore genesis based on the hypothesis of mineralization replacing brecciated marble.
- Correlate regional geology based on the described extension of the fault 5.8 km east.
Strengths
- Description includes specific mineral names (sphalerite, pyrrhotite, magnetite) and geological structures.
- Provides a precise spatial reference (5.8 km extension to Crescent Lake).
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 open_canada.
