Enhanced Stream Sediment Geochemistry for Yukon NTS 116B and 116C

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 by the Government of Yukon is part of a regional assessment covering a large part of Yukon.

Use Cases

• Identify prospective areas for mineral exploration based on modeled geochemical responses.
• Analyze catchment basin geochemistry for patterns indicative of specific deposit types.
• Integrate pathfinder element data with other geological datasets for regional targeting.

Strengths

• Data is derived from re-analysis of archived samples, suggesting a controlled source.
• Analysis employs two distinct modeling approaches: weighted sums 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 metadata update was 2026-05-20 15:41:09.856404.
