Regional till geochemistry surveys were conducted in the Finlayson Lake, Glenlyon, and eastern Carmacks map areas of southern Yukon. Detailed sampling was completed at the Kudz Ze Kayah and Clear Lake massive sulphide deposits to evaluate glacial dispersal. The dataset was published by the Government of Yukon and last updated in April 2026.
Use Cases
- Evaluating glacial dispersal patterns near mineralized rock based on detailed till sampling
- Comparing silt-and-clay-sized fraction versus clay-sized fraction geochemistry for target delineation
- Analyzing correlations between gold concentrations in different till particle sizes
- Investigating beryllium content in till as an indicator of bedrock beryl occurrences
Strengths
- Includes detailed till sampling at two specific massive sulphide deposits (Kudz Ze Kayah and Clear Lake)
- Comparative evaluation of two distinct till particle size fractions (silt-and-clay vs clay)
- Regional coverage across three map areas (Finlayson Lake, Glenlyon, eastern Carmacks)
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
- The description notes low analytical precision for beryllium analyses
