Government of Yukon data examines silver production potential in the Keno Hill district. Historical production totals 5754 million grams of silver from 3.9 million tonnes of ore mined over nearly 70 years. The dataset uses metal-ratio zonation to analyze the fracture pattern and assess the potential for blind ore shoots at depth.
Use Cases
- Model hydrothermal system zonation based on metal-ratio patterns described in the dataset.
- Assess the potential for blind ore shoots based on reconstructed fracture patterns.
- Analyze historical silver production efficiency from narrow vein faults.
- Compare ore zone parallelism with the present surface to other Cordilleran vein camps.
Strengths
- Contains specific historical production figures: 5754 million grams of silver from 3.9 million tonnes of ore.
- Focuses on a well-defined mining district with nearly 70 years of documented activity.
- Analysis is based on a reconstructed fracture pattern and metal-ratio zonation.
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 a single mining district.
