Nadaleen River Ultramafic Nickel Magmas and Listwaenites in Yukon

A geological dataset from the Nadaleen Range in Yukon describes pentlandite-bearing serpentinized ultramafic flows with komatiitic composition. It is associated with listwaenites carrying gold, copper, nickel, and cobalt values, representing a new exploration target style. The dataset was published by the Government of Yukon and last updated on April 17, 2026.

Use Cases

• Identifying new exploration targets for copper-nickel deposits based on ultramafic unit descriptions
• Mapping potential gold mineralization based on listwaenite-associated alteration features
• Analyzing regional geology based on volcano-sedimentary stratigraphy descriptions
• Studying komatiitic magma compositions for geological research

Strengths

• Dataset is associated with laterally extensive ultramafic units, suggesting a significant geological feature
• Published by the Government of Yukon, indicating an authoritative source
• Last updated on April 17, 2026, indicating recent maintenance

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 the specific map area (106C/3) in Yukon
