512.4 square km of proposed Habitat Protection Area along Scottie Creek was assessed for mineral potential within a 1248 square km study area. The Yukon Government and White River First Nation commissioned this report, which identifies high potential for base metal deposits in the south and gold/porphyry deposits in the north. The assessment was conducted by a panel of industry experts and last updated on April 17, 2026.
Use Cases
- Identify zones with high relative mineral potential based on geological rock types
- Compare mineral potential between Paleozoic metamorphosed rocks and plutonic rock formations
- Plan further evaluation work for higher elevations where rock formations may outcrop
- Assess the context of a Special Management Area within a larger 1248 square km region
Strengths
- Assessment covers a specific 1248 square km area encompassing the proposed 512.4 square km management zone
- Results are based on expert panel evaluation of geology and mineral potential
- Report provides a detailed mineral potential map highlighting the southern portion as highest potential
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
- The dataset describes a potential assessment; it does not contain confirmed mineral deposit data
