Yukon Stream Sediment Geochemistry for Mineral Exploration, NTS 115I

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. It was produced by the Government of Yukon and last updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Identify prospective areas for mineral exploration based on catchment basin analysis mentioned in the description
• Model geochemical anomalies for various deposit types based on commodity and pathfinder element abundances
• Conduct regional geochemical assessments based on the weighted sums modeling approach described

Strengths

• Data is part of a regional assessment covering a large part of Yukon
• Analysis employs two distinct 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
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the specific NTS 115I region of Yukon
