Enhanced Stream Sediment Geochemistry for Yukon NTS 115H

New geochemical data from re-analysis of archived stream sediment samples assessed using weighted sums modeling and catchment basin analysis. The release is part of a regional assessment covering a large part of Yukon, presented as catchment maps and associated data files. Results evaluate commodity and pathfinder element abundances to highlight areas consistent with base and precious-metal mineral deposit types.

Use Cases

• Identify mineral exploration targets based on catchment basin analysis of stream sediment geochemistry.
• Model geochemical responses for various deposit types based on commodity and pathfinder element abundances.
• Conduct regional mineral potential assessments based on weighted sums modeling results.

Strengths

• Data is part of a regional assessment covering a large part of Yukon.
• Analysis uses two distinct modeling approaches: weighted sums modeling and catchment basin analysis.
• 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; last updated date is 2026-05-20 16:12:41.850518.
