Enhanced Stream Sediment Geochemistry for Yukon NTS 95D and 105A

Geochemical data from re-analyzed stream sediment samples assessed using weighted sums modeling and catchment basin analysis. The release covers a large part of Yukon and highlights areas with geochemical responses consistent with base and precious-metal mineral deposit types. Results are presented as catchment maps and associated data files.

Use Cases

• Identify mineral exploration targets based on commodity and pathfinder element abundances.
• Conduct catchment basin analysis for regional geochemical surveys.
• Model geochemical responses for base and precious-metal deposit types.

Strengths

• Data is derived from re-analysis of archived samples, suggesting a controlled source.
• Analysis uses two distinct modeling approaches (weighted sums and catchment basin).
• Results are presented as both maps and data files, offering multiple formats.

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 date is 2026-05-20.
