Northern Wolverine Lake map area in southeastern Yukon contains geological mapping data outlining new stratigraphy for the Yukon-Tanana Terrane. The data constrains the stratigraphic position of the Wolverine Lake volcanogenic massive sulphide deposit and clarifies the relationship between the Yukon-Tanana Terrane and the Campbell Range belt. It was published by the Government of Yukon and last updated on April 17, 2026.
Use Cases
- Analyze stratigraphic relationships based on described angular unconformity separating two successions.
- Model mineral deposit formation based on the association of VMS deposits with specific rock types like siliceous exhalite.
- Map geological contacts based on the observed sharp depositional contact between the Campbell Range belt and Yukon-Tanana Terrane.
- Study deformation phases based on the description of polydeformed rocks below the unconformity versus rocks deformed by only one phase above it.
Strengths
- Data is associated with a specific, named geological project (Finlayson project).
- Description provides detailed geological context, including stratigraphic successions, rock types, and deposit relationships.
- Last updated date is explicitly provided (2026-04-17).
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 the specific map area in southeastern Yukon.
