Matt Berry Deposit: Felsic Metavolcanic Rocks and Mineralization Model

Geological data describes the Matt Berry deposit's exhalative Pb-Zn-Cu mineralization hosted in polydeformed black shale. The deposit model is intermediate between sedimentary exhalative (SEDEX) and volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) types, based on copper-rich ore and alkaline felsic metavolcanic rocks. The dataset is provided by the Government of Yukon and was last updated on April 17, 2026.

Use Cases

• Classifying mineral deposit types based on described geological features like ore composition and host rock.
• Analyzing the relationship between felsic metavolcanic rocks and base metal mineralization.
• Studying polydeformed shale as a host for exhalative Pb-Zn-Cu deposits.
• Comparing deposit characteristics to established SEDEX and VMS models.

Strengths

• Dataset is provided by a government geological organization (Government of Yukon).
• Last update timestamp is precisely recorded (2026-04-17 15:48:13.545898).
• The description provides a specific geological model and mineralogical context.

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 a single deposit study.
