Description
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
