Emerald Mineralization Investigations in the Regal Ridge Area, Yukon

Southeastern Yukon's Regal Ridge area contains preliminary geological investigations of emerald mineralization from 2002. The report details a continuum of rock types from quartz monzonite to quartz-tourmaline veins and discusses the potential source of chromium. It was published by the Government of Yukon and last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Identify potential emerald deposit locations based on described geological formations and rock types.
• Study mineralizing fluid compositions based on petrographic examination of veins and altered host rocks.
• Analyze the relationship between mafic metavolcanic host rocks and chromium content in emeralds.
• Map regional mineral potential based on the described continuum of rock types from quartz monzonite to quartz-tourmaline veins.

Strengths

• Report is associated with a specific 2002 field investigation, providing temporal context.
• Focuses on a defined geographic area: the Regal Ridge property in the Finlayson Lake district.
• Includes detailed petrographic examination aimed at constraining mineralizing fluid composition.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to open_canada.
