Government of Yukon mapping details tin-tungsten-boron-fluorine-bearing skarns in the Thirtymile Range. The report focuses on the Mindy and Ork prospects, describing mineral assemblages and structural controls. It was last updated on April 17, 2026.
Use Cases
- Identify potential tin mineralization zones based on described skarn assemblages.
- Analyze the relationship between granite intrusions and skarn formation based on mapped aureoles.
- Study structural controls on mineralization based on described extensional faulting.
- Compare mineralogy between different prospects based on descriptions of Mindy and Ork sites.
Strengths
- Report includes detailed mapping of a granitic stock approximately 6 km in diameter.
- Describes specific mineral assemblages like diospide-andradite and cassiterite/tin borate.
- Identifies structural controls like extensional faulting on mineralization.
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.
