Mars Alkalic Copper-Gold-Molybdenum Porphyry Occurrence in Yukon

A geological dataset describes the Mars alkalic copper-gold-molybdenum porphyry occurrence in the Laberge map area of Yukon. It was published by the Government of Yukon and last updated in April 2026. The data likely contains field and petrographic observations documenting alteration zones and mineralization patterns.

Use Cases

• Mapping hydrothermal alteration zones based on documented sodic, calc-potassic, and sericitic assemblages
• Analyzing copper-gold-molybdenum mineralization patterns based on described disseminated and fracture-hosted occurrences
• Comparing deposit characteristics with similar systems like Cadia and Goonumbla based on noted similarities

Strengths

• Description provides specific spatial dimensions for the mineralization zone (2.8 by 1.5 km)
• Includes a specific geological age reference (emplaced at about 175 Ma)
• Details distinct alteration assemblages (sodic, calc-potassic, sericitic, propylitic)

Limitations

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