Mineral Potential Map and Report for Eagle Plains, Yukon

A mineral potential assessment report for the Eagle Plains area in Yukon includes a map ranking tracts by relative mineral potential. The study provided complete geochemical coverage through a new Regional Geochemical Survey and reanalysis of existing silt samples. It also documented new mineral occurrences, rocks of possible volcanic origin, and modifications to pre-existing geology maps.

Use Cases

• Rank mineral exploration tracts based on the relative order of mineral potential map
• Analyze regional geochemical patterns based on the complete geochemical coverage survey
• Identify new mineral occurrences discovered during the study
• Update geological maps using the modifications to pre-existing geology documented in the report
• Study rocks of possible volcanic origin previously undocumented in the area

Strengths

• Includes a mineral potential map ranking tracts from highest to lowest potential
• Provides complete geochemical coverage of the Eagle Plains area
• Documents several new mineral occurrences and previously undocumented volcanic rocks

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 open_canada platform
