2.86 million tonnes of reserves grading 1.62% copper, 2.25% lead, 4.17% zinc, 55.9 g/t silver, and 0.89 g/t gold are estimated for the Marg deposit. The data describes four stacked massive sulphide lenses hosted by Devono-Mississippian felsic metavolcanic rocks in central Yukon. It was published by the Government of Yukon and last updated in April 2026.
Use Cases
- Estimate economic viability of a deposit based on reported tonnage and grade.
- Analyze geological context based on the description of host rocks and sulphide lenses.
- Compare mineral composition across deposits based on reported percentages of copper, lead, zinc, silver, and gold.
- Support regional mineral exploration planning based on the specific location in central Yukon.
Strengths
- Contains specific reserve estimates: 2.86 million tonnes.
- Provides detailed grade percentages for five metals: 1.62% Cu, 2.25% Pb, 4.17% Zn, 55.9 g/t Ag, 0.89 g/t Au.
- Includes geological context: hosted by Devono-Mississippian felsic metavolcanic rocks.
- Has a clear temporal reference: based on 1988 and 1989 diamond drilling.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Freshness should be verified; the last update date is 2026-04-17, but the core data is from 1988-1989.
