Arsenopyrite geothermometry indicates maximum formation temperatures of 465°-490°C at YP and 335°-385°C at Logan. This dataset describes the mineralogy and formation conditions of vein and replacement-type zinc-lead-silver occurrences in the Rancheria District, Yukon, Canada. It was published by the Government of Yukon and last updated in April 2026.
Use Cases
- Modeling ore formation temperatures based on arsenopyrite geothermometry data
- Analyzing fluid inclusion properties like salinity and depth estimates
- Studying the association of silver with specific minerals like galena and sulphosalts
- Investigating the role of mixed magmatic and metamorphic fluids in mineralization
Strengths
- Provides specific temperature ranges (465°-490°C and 335°-385°C) from arsenopyrite geothermometry
- Includes detailed mineralogical descriptions of main sulphide minerals
- Contains formation pressure data corresponding to a depth of 2500 meters
- Fluid inclusion salinity data is quantified at 34 weight percent NaCl equivalent
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 deposits
Provenance
- Source
- Government of Yukon
- Collection Method
- Likely contains analytical data from geothermometry and microthermometric investigations of fluid inclusions.
