Regal Ridge Emerald Property Geology in Southeastern Yukon

A 2026 report describes the geology and structural setting of the Regal Ridge emerald property in the Finlayson Lake district of southeastern Yukon. Emerald mineralization is hosted within mid-Paleozoic mafic metavolcanic and metaplutonic rocks and is associated with a 112 Ma quartz monzonite intrusion. The dataset is provided by the Government of Yukon and includes details on host rock chemistry, vein generations, and the relationship between mineralization and Cretaceous deformation.

Use Cases

• Identify potential emerald mineralization zones based on described host rock types (high-calcium boninites) and geochemical anomalies.
• Model structural controls on mineralization based on the described relationship between quartz veins and Cretaceous deformation.
• Compare geochemical signatures of mineralized versus non-mineralized intrusions based on described differences in potassium, fluorine, and beryllium content.

Strengths

• Report includes specific geological age references (mid-Paleozoic host rocks, 112 Ma intrusion).
• Description provides concrete geochemical differentiation between mineralized and non-mineralized aplite dykes.
• Source is an authoritative government organization (Government of Yukon).

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 a single property study.
