Geology and Mineral Occurrences of Slats Creek, Fairchild Lake and "Dolores Creek" Areas,

Geological data and mineral occurrence records from the Wernecke Mountains in east-central Yukon Territory. The study area lies approximately 150 km north-northeast of Mayo and 20 km west of the Yukon-Northwest Territories border. Rocks record events of sedimentation, magmatism and deformation ranging in age from Early Proterozoic to Tertiary.

Use Cases

• Map geological evolution based on described events of sedimentation, magmatism, and deformation.
• Analyze mineral occurrences based on the study's focus on mineral occurrences.
• Study Proterozoic rock formations based on the predominance of Early Proterozoic rocks.
• Conduct regional geological analysis based on the defined study area in the Wernecke Mountains.

Strengths

• Covers a defined geographical area approximately 150 km north-northeast of Mayo and 20 km west of a territorial border.
• Records geological events spanning a wide temporal range from Early Proterozoic to Tertiary.
• Published by the Government of Yukon under the OGL-CA-2.0 license.

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 study area.
