Geology and Mineral Occurrences of the Dolores Creek Map Area, Yukon

Middle Proterozoic to Early Paleozoic stratigraphic successions represent about a billion years of sedimentation, deformation, and mineralization in northeastern Yukon. The dataset likely contains geological maps and mineral occurrence data for the Dolores Creek map area (106 C/14) in the Wernecke Mountains. It was published by the Government of Yukon and last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Map stratigraphic successions based on described Middle Proterozoic to Early Paleozoic rock units
• Analyze deformation phases based on described eight phases of contractional and extensional deformation
• Identify mineral enrichment zones based on described breccia-related and vein occurrences of Cu, U, Co, Au, Ag, Zn, and Pb

Strengths

• Describes stratigraphic successions spanning about a billion years
• Identifies eight distinct phases of deformation
• Specifies mineral enrichments for Cu ± U, Co, Au, Ag, Zn-Pb-Ag ± Cu and Au

Limitations

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