The TOG mineral occurrence describes a gold deposit in southern Yukon characterized by visible gold, low sulphide content, and high grades. The Government of Yukon provides this data, last updated on 2026-04-17. It details the geological setting of basalt, ultramafite, and altered rocks, with gold concentrated in quartz veins within listwaenite alteration zones.
Use Cases
- Modeling structurally controlled gold mineralization based on described carbonate alteration zones.
- Analyzing the relationship between gold grades and quartz veins versus listwaenite alteration.
- Mapping mineral occurrences in a geological context of basalt, ultramafite, carbonate, and chert.
- Studying the geospatial distribution of listwaenite-hosted gold deposits in the Yukon.
Strengths
- Data is provided by the Government of Yukon, an authoritative source.
- The description specifies high gold grades are associated with quartz veins.
- The geological context of basalt, ultramafite, carbonate, and chert is detailed.
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 Yukon Territory.
