The Livingstone Creek area in south-central Yukon is underlain by metasedimentary and metaigneous rocks of Yukon-Tanana Terrane. It includes at least five intrusive rock suites from Mississippian to Late Cretaceous ages and records phases of ductile and brittle-ductile deformation. This dataset was published by the Government of Yukon and last updated on April 17, 2026.
Use Cases
- Map potential lode gold mineralization based on descriptions of the d'Abbadie Fault zone.
- Analyze tectonic foliation development based on timing constraints from intrusive rock suites.
- Model ductile deformation patterns based on described phases of isoclinal folding and transposition foliation.
- Assess copper-gold massive sulphide potential based on bedrock mineralization descriptions.
Strengths
- Describes at least five distinct intrusive rock suites providing timing constraints.
- Identifies specific deformation phases including two phases of isoclinal folding.
- Focuses on a defined geographic area (NTS 105E/8) in south-central Yukon.
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 a single regional study.
