Enhanced Stream Sediment Geochemistry for Yukon NTS 105D

New geochemical data from re-analysis of archived stream sediment samples assessed using weighted sums modeling and catchment basin analysis. Both commodity and pathfinder element abundances are evaluated to highlight areas consistent with base and precious-metal mineral deposit types. This release is part of a regional assessment covering a large part of Yukon.

Use Cases

• Identify mineral exploration targets based on commodity and pathfinder element abundances
• Conduct regional geochemical assessments using catchment basin analysis
• Model geochemical responses for various deposit types using weighted sums modeling
• Analyze spatial patterns of geochemical anomalies from stream sediment samples

Strengths

• Data is derived from re-analysis of archived samples, suggesting a controlled source
• Methodology is documented in a specific report (YGS Open File 2015-10)
• Results are presented as a series of catchment maps and associated data files

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Freshness should be verified as the last update is listed as 2026-05-20
