Sugar Gold Prospect Geological Field Investigations, Dawson Range Yukon

Government of Yukon field investigations describe the Sugar gold prospect 20 km southeast of the Coffee deposits. The data likely contains detailed geological descriptions of rock units, alteration types, and mineralized zones within the mid-Cretaceous Dawson Range batholith. Last updated on April 17, 2026, the dataset is available in HTML and PDF formats.

Use Cases

• Identify potential gold mineralization zones based on described silica flooding and sulphide associations
• Map geological units and alteration phases based on descriptions of biotite hornblende quartz monzodiorite and K-feldspar phyric syenogranite
• Analyze structural controls on mineralization based on fault-fracture zones parallel to andesite dikes
• Study hydrothermal system evolution based on sequences of calc-sodic, potassic, and later silica-sericite alteration

Strengths

• Provides a specific geographic location (20 km southeast of Coffee deposits) and geological context (mid-Cretaceous Dawson Range batholith)
• Describes detailed mineralogical associations (quartz-carbonate-arsenopyrite ± pyrite ± freibergite ± stibnite ± sphalerite) and alteration types

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to open_canada
