A Yukon-wide compilation of 1102 till geochemistry samples collected by the Yukon Geological Survey between 1998 and 2002. Complete analytical results for more than 40 elements are included for each sample from surveys in the Faro/Anvil Range, Weasel Lake, Finlayson Lake and Glenlyon/East Carmacks areas.
Use Cases
- Identify regional geochemical anomalies for mineral exploration based on multi-element analysis.
- Map the distribution of specific elements across Yukon regions based on the survey areas.
- Conduct environmental baseline studies using the geochemical composition of surface till.
- Correlate till geochemistry with bedrock geology or glacial transport patterns.
Strengths
- Contains 1102 samples, providing a substantial regional dataset.
- Includes complete analytical results for more than 40 elements per sample.
- Covers four distinct survey areas across Yukon, offering geographic breadth.
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 and temporal bias inherent to the specific surveys conducted between 1998 and 2002.
