Yukon deposits provide data from a single borehole in the Conrad Carlin-type gold deposit. The dataset likely contains measurements of total organic carbon (TOC) averaging 1.31 wt. % with a maximum of 3.18 wt. %, and correlations with elements like Tl and As. This study was published by the Government of Yukon and last updated in April 2026.
Use Cases
- Correlating total organic carbon content with gold proxy elements based on TOC and Tl measurements
- Analyzing the spatial distribution of organic matter types based on petrographic observations of pyrobitumen
- Investigating the maturation history of hydrocarbons in mineralized zones based on descriptions of pyrobitumen maturity
Strengths
- Includes specific quantitative measurements, such as TOC averaging 1.31 wt. % with a maximum of 3.18 wt. %
- Focuses on a specific geological deposit type (Carlin-type) and location (Conrad deposit, Yukon)
Limitations
- Data scope is limited to a single borehole, which may not represent the entire deposit
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- The direct spatial relationship between gold and organic matter was not demonstrated by micro-scale mapping
