Weasel Lake Map Area Surficial Geology and Till Geochemistry

Weasel Lake map area (105G/13) in east-central Yukon contains surficial geological mapping and till geochemical sampling data. The Government of Yukon conducted this work to better understand mineral potential in the Finlayson Lake belt, an area with several volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits. The dataset was last updated on April 17, 2026.

Use Cases

• Identify base-metal element anomalies based on till geochemical sampling results
• Map glacial sediment distribution based on surficial geological mapping
• Assess gold indicator suites suggestive of epithermal mineralization
• Analyze ice-flow patterns and glacial deposition based on described ice-flow trends and sediment types

Strengths

• Focuses on a region described as one of the most prospective areas of Yukon
• Includes data on multiple indicator suites for base-metal elements, platinum/palladium, and gold
• Last updated on April 17, 2026

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 the specific map area
