Gold occurrences in the upper Hyland River valley form a 50-km-long belt considered the easternmost portion of the Tombstone Gold Belt. Mineralization consists of four types: disseminated pyrite and arsenopyrite in altered grit, quartz-arsenopyrite veins, quartz-pyrite-galena veins, and massive arsenopyrite veins. The dataset is provided by the Government of Yukon and was last updated in April 2026.
Use Cases
- Analyze spatial distribution of gold occurrences based on the 50-km-long belt description
- Compare mineralization types based on the four described vein and disseminated styles
- Evaluate evidence for intrusion-related versus orogenic gold models based on described geological features
Strengths
- Specific geographic scope defined as a 50-km-long belt in the upper Hyland River valley
- Detailed description of four distinct mineralization types
- Provided by the authoritative 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 the Yukon region
