Government of Yukon's geological map sheet details the contact between the Coast Plutonic Complex and Stikine Terrane northwest of Whitehorse. The map area includes Late Triassic Little River granodiorite, Late Paleocene Annie Ned granite, and Upper Triassic to Middle Jurassic volcanic and sedimentary rocks. Potential mineral deposits include epithermal and mesothermal quartz veins and magnetite skarns.
Use Cases
- Mapping geological contacts based on the Takhini deformation zone
