Fyre Lake Copper-Cobalt-Gold Deposit Lithogeochemistry and Geology

Lithogeochemical results for a sulphide-magnetite deposit hosted in Devono-Mississippian-aged mafic volcanic rocks. The Government of Yukon provides data on the deposit's composition, including SiO2 ranges from 53 to 58% and enrichment of copper, cobalt, and gold. The dataset was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling ore deposit genesis based on rare-earth element depletion patterns
• Identifying exploration targets based on copper and cobalt enrichment data
• Comparing volcanic rock chemistry to boninitic suites like those in Cyprus
• Assessing tectonic setting maturity using felsic metasedimentary rock associations

Strengths

• Specific chemical ranges provided, such as SiO2 content from 53 to 58%
• Detailed mineralogical description includes pyrite, chalcopyrite, and sphalerite proportions
• Clear geological context identifies the host rocks as probable Devono-Mississippian-aged

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
