Yukon-Tanana Terrane Massive Sulphide Deposits with Grade Data

Yukon Territory mineral deposits, including volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) occurrences in the Yukon-Tanana and Slide Mountain Terranes. The description provides specific grade data for deposits like Wolverine (5,311,000 tonnes with 1.81 g/t Au, 359.1 g/t Ag) and Fyre Lake (31.3 m of 2.29% Cu). This dataset was published by the Government of Yukon and last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Identify deposit types (e.g., Kuroko, Besshi) based on geological descriptions
• Compare mineral grades (e.g., Cu, Au, Ag, Zn) across different properties
• Map regional mineral potential based on terrane correlations mentioned in the description
• Analyze exploration results based on drill hole intercept data (e.g., DDH 65 at Fyre Lake)

Strengths

• Description includes specific resource tonnage and grade figures (e.g., Wolverine: 5,311,000 tonnes)
• Description provides detailed geological context for multiple deposit types and terranes
• Data originates from a governmental source (Government of Yukon)
• Last updated date is explicitly provided (2026-04-17)

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 open_canada, focusing on Yukon and adjacent regions
