The Wolf deposit contains an inferred resource of 4.1 million tonnes grading 6.2% zinc, 1.8% lead, and 84 grams per tonne silver. This dataset describes volcanogenic massive sulphide mineralization hosted by rift-related felsic volcanic rocks in the Pelly Mountains, Yukon. It was published by the Government of Yukon and updated in April 2026.
Use Cases
- Model mineral deposit morphology based on described strike length, down-dip length, and thickness.
- Estimate resource potential based on inferred tonnage and grade data for zinc, lead, and silver.
- Analyze geological setting for exploration targeting based on described tectono-stratigraphic rift setting.
- Study chemical zoning and alteration patterns mentioned in the description for deposit genesis models.
Strengths
- Provides specific inferred resource numbers: 4.1 million tonnes grading 6.2% Zn, 1.8% Pb, 84 g/t Ag.
- Includes detailed deposit dimensions: strike length of 600 m, width of 500 m, and thickness from 2 to 25 m.
- Describes geological context with specific stratigraphic thickness (approximately 900 m) and structural features.
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 a single property study.
