Enhanced Stream Sediment Geochemistry for Yukon NTS 115F and 115G

Yukon, Canada, is the focus of this geochemical dataset from re-analyzed stream sediment samples. The Government of Yukon released it, with modeling results presented as catchment maps and data files. The data was last updated on 2026-05-20.

Use Cases

• Identify mineral exploration targets based on weighted sums modeling of element abundances.
• Conduct regional geochemical assessments based on catchment basin analysis.
• Evaluate geochemical responses for various deposit types based on commodity and pathfinder elements.

Strengths

• Data is associated with a specific methodology report (YGS Open File 2015-10).
• Modeling results are presented using two distinct analytical approaches.
• The release is part of a regional assessment covering a large part of Yukon.

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 the Yukon study area.
