A geological overview of the Clear Creek map area (NTS 115P/14) in central Yukon, published by the Government of Yukon on April 17, 2026. The description details deformed Proterozoic and Paleozoic rocks, Cretaceous intrusions, and structural features like the Lost Horses syncline. Mineral occurrences include precious metal, tin, tungsten, and barite deposits, with new analyses confirming significant gold values.
Use Cases
- Mapping structural geology based on descriptions of synclines, thrust faults, and tectonic transport sense.
- Identifying mineral exploration targets based on reported occurrences of gold, tin, tungsten, and barite.
- Correlating geochemical anomalies based on the reported correlation of gold with bismuth in some veins.
- Studying intrusive rock associations based on listed felsic intrusion types like granite, quartz monzonite, and syenite.
Strengths
- Description provides detailed geological context including rock units, structural features, and intrusive events.
- Includes specific mineral occurrence types (precious metal, tin, tungsten, barite) and confirms significant gold values from new analyses.
- Published by the authoritative Government of Yukon and updated in April 2026.
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.
