Fieldwork from 2000 studied geology, geochemistry, and alteration of high-level subvolcanic porphyritic intrusions associated with the Wolverine Zn-Pb-Cu volcanic-hosted massive sulphide deposit in the Finlayson Lake district, Yukon, Canada. The intrusions are located 10-20 m beneath sulphide bodies in four zones and are described by their mineral composition and contact relationships. The dataset is provided by the Government of Yukon.
Use Cases
- Modeling heat and metal contributions to mineralization based on intrusion descriptions
- Correlating intrusion types with specific deposit zones like Wolverine/Lynx, Fisher, Sable, and Puck
- Analyzing alteration patterns such as sericite-silica ±chlorite ±pyrite
Strengths
- Specific spatial context: intrusions located 10-20 m beneath sulphide bodies in four named zones
- Detailed mineralogical descriptions of K-feldspar and quartz-feldspar porphyritic intrusions
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
