The Fer gold property was staked in 1996 based on regional sediment sampling. Government of Yukon data includes soil geochemistry results outlining anomalies up to 2000 by 500 meters with gold values ranging up to 1870 ppb and arsenic up to 5430 ppm. The property is located 5 km southwest of Nahanni Range Road and is part of the Neoproterozoic to Lower Cambrian Hyland Group rocks in the Tintina gold belt.
Use Cases
- Modeling gold mineralization based on structural and lithological controls described in the property overview
- Correlating gold with arsenic, silver, lead, and antimony associations as indicated in the description
- Identifying distal end-member deposits of plutonic-related gold systems within the Tintina belt
- Mapping geochemical anomalies using the described 2000 by 500 meter and 500 by 200 meter grid areas
Strengths
- Specific geochemical values are provided, such as gold up to 1870 ppb and arsenic up to 5430 ppm
- The dataset describes spatially defined anomaly areas, including one approximately 2000 by 500 meters
- Property location is precisely defined as 5 kilometres southwest of Nahanni Range Road
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 open_canada, focusing solely on a single Yukon property
