Yukon Mineral Occurrences Geological Database

Mineral Occurrences - 250k is a geological dataset from the Government of Yukon's GeoYukon platform. It documents mineral occurrences across a region with rock types from Early Proterozoic to Recent, shaped by complex terrane interactions. The dataset is updated via ESRI REST and HTML services.

Use Cases

• Map mineral deposit locations against described geological terranes and rock type environments.
• Analyze the spatial distribution of occurrences relative to regions of compressional and extensional deformation.
• Correlate mineral findings with specific geological episodes like metamorphism and plutonism.

Strengths

• Sourced from the authoritative GeoYukon platform maintained by the Government of Yukon.
• Covers a geologically complex area with rock types ranging from Early Proterozoic to Recent.
• Describes diverse geological environments including epicratonic basins, island arcs, and foreland basins.

Limitations

• Specific data volume, row count, column structure, and sample data are unavailable for review.
• Data is provided via ESRI REST and HTML services, which may require specialized GIS tools for full analysis.
