Six dikes associated with the Klaza epithermal vein system yield early Late Cretaceous U-Pb zircon ages (78.2-76.3 Ma). Granodiorite of the Dawson Range batholith gives a U-Pb zircon age of 107.9±0.3 Ma. The dataset, provided by the Government of Yukon, emphasizes the metallogenic importance of a Cretaceous magmatic-hydrothermal event.
Use Cases
- Correlating epithermal vein mineralization with subvolcanic magmatism based on overlapping U-Pb zircon ages
- Analyzing regional metallogenic events based on Pb isotopic data
- Mapping the temporal relationship between porphyry and epithermal deposits based on age constraints
Strengths
- Provides specific U-Pb zircon ages (78.2-76.3 Ma and 107.9±0.3 Ma)
- Integrates new results with regional dating and Pb isotopic data
- Data is sourced from the authoritative Government of Yukon
Limitations
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the Yukon region
