A geological report describes the potential for nephritic jade deposits along faulted contacts between serpentinite and siliceous units in the St. Cyr klippe near Quiet Lake, Yukon. Bedrock mapping conducted during the summer of 2013 failed to identify large deposits, but smaller deposits may have been overlooked. The report was published by the Government of Yukon and is available in HTML and PDF formats.
Use Cases
- Assessing jade deposit potential based on geological contact descriptions
- Mapping serpentinite and phyllite units based on the described Slide Mountain and Cassiar terrane assemblages
- Analyzing factors affecting mineralization based on described silica content and fluid migration
Strengths
- Report includes specific geological mapping conducted in summer 2013
- Analysis compares the field area to known deposits at the King Arctic mine
- Data is provided by the Government of Yukon
Limitations
- Row count and column-level documentation are unknown
- The description notes that bedrock mapping failed to identify large jade deposits
- Data freshness should be verified as the last update date is 2026-04-17
