Description
3.6% of the study area has assessment work on file, with recent GSC stream sediment geochemistry showing highly anomalous gold, copper, molybdenum, tungsten, uranium, and rare earth values clustered around Tombstone Suite intrusions. The dataset, published by the Government of Yukon, describes known mineral deposits including the Marn gold skarn and Tombstone uranium resource. It was last updated on April 17, 2026.
Use Cases
Identify areas with high mineral potential based on anomalous geochemical values for gold, copper, molybdenum, tungsten, uranium, and rare earths.
Compare historical exploration focus on high-grade veins and uranium with potential for bulk tonnage gold or shale-hosted nickel.
Evaluate known deposits like the Marn gold skarn and Tombstone uranium resource for further exploration or resource assessment.
Strengths
Includes recent GSC stream sediment geochemistry data showing specific anomalous element clusters.
References known mineral deposits with Minfile identifiers (116B 147, 116B 151).
Provides a specific temporal reference for uranium content data (Olade and Goodfellow, 1978).
Limitations
Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
Assessment work on file covers only a small part (3.6%) of the study area.
Provenance
Source
Government of Yukon
Collection Method
Likely compiled from historical assessment files, mining company reports, and GSC geochemical surveys.
Time Range
Historical data from 1901 onwards, with recent GSC data.
