Howard's Pass Zinc-Lead Deposit Structural Geology Report

The Government of Yukon's report details the geometry and kinematic history of deformation at the Howard's Pass shale-hosted zinc-lead deposits. It presents lithostratigraphic mapping and structural observations from a study focused on the XY group of deposits, aiming to test a regional thrust duplex model. The report was last updated on April 17, 2026.

Use Cases

• Testing structural models of thrust duplexes based on lithostratigraphic mapping
• Analyzing fold and cleavage geometries based on observations of F1 folds and S1 cleavage
• Identifying extensional fault patterns based on descriptions of WNW and NNE striking faults

Strengths

• Report is published by the Government of Yukon, an authoritative source
• Includes specific structural observations like F1 folds and S1 cleavage
• Focuses on a defined study area, the XY group of deposits

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
