Mid-Cretaceous Gold and Molybdenum Mineralization Data for Dawson Range

96-95 Ma geochronological data for gold and molybdenum deposits in the Dawson Range, Yukon. The dataset, published by the Government of Yukon, details mineralization at the Boulevard gold prospect and Toni Tiger molybdenum showing. It includes fluid inclusion analysis suggesting formation temperatures between 279 and 310°C and pressures above 1 kbar.

Use Cases

• Modeling orogenic mineral systems based on geochronological evidence of 96-95 Ma deposition
• Analyzing fluid inclusion characteristics based on reported H2O-CO2-NaCl type fluids and temperature/pressure ranges
• Correlating structurally-hosted gold deposits based on the described relationship to the Coffee deposit and Moosehorn Range

Strengths

• Geochronological evidence provides a specific deposition timeframe of 96-95 Ma
• Fluid inclusion analysis includes specific temperature ranges (279-310°C) and pressure (>1 kbar)
• Dataset links mineralization at two distinct sites (Boulevard and Toni Tiger) to a single system

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 specific Yukon study area
