Whitehorse Map Area Metallogenic Map with Updated Geology

The Metallogenic Map of the Whitehorse Map Area, Yukon, is a report from the Government of Yukon discussing mineral occurrence distribution. It plots classified mineral occurrences on a lithologic map at a 1:250,000 scale, incorporating updated geology and geochronology from multiple sources. The report was last updated on April 17, 2026.

Use Cases

• Identify mineral deposit types based on the classification of occurrences.
• Analyze the spatial distribution of intrusion-related mineral occurrences.
• Study the geology and geochronology of the Bennett Lake cauldron subsidence complex.
• Map the stratigraphy of the Upper Triassic Lewes River Group.
• Reclassify geologic units in southern Yukon for regional geological models.

Strengths

• Map scale is explicitly stated as 1:250,000.
• Includes updated geology from multiple sources, including the Bennett Lake complex and Atlin Terrane.
• Mineral occurrences are classified by deposit type and principal commodities.

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 the Whitehorse map-area.
