Description
Middle to Late Proterozoic geological data for the Fairchild Lake map area (106C/13) in Yukon, Canada. The dataset describes sedimentary successions, the Racklan orogeny, and mineralization occurrences containing Zn, Pb, Cu, Ag, Au, U, and Co. It was published by the Government of Yukon and last updated on April 17, 2026.
Use Cases
Mapping sedimentary exhalative mineralization based on described Zn, Pb, Cu, and Ag occurrences in dolomitic sequences
Analyzing vein-type mineralization patterns based on described Zn, Pb, Cu, Ag, Au, and U occurrences
Studying intrusive breccia-hosted mineralization based on described Wernecke breccia containing Cu, Co, U, Ag, and Au
Investigating the relationship between Racklan orogeny deformation and subsequent mineralization events
Strengths
Detailed geological description of three principal sedimentary successions and their relationships
Specific identification of multiple mineralization types (sedimentary exhalative, vein, intrusive breccia) and their metal contents
Clear temporal framework linking mineralization to the Middle to Late Proterozoic Racklan orogeny
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 Fairchild Lake map area
