Volcanic-Associated Massive Sulphide Deposits in Yukon-Tanana Terrane

Five major VMS deposits—Fyre Lake, Kudz Ze Kayah, GP4F, Wolverine, and Ice—with detailed tonnage and metal grade figures are documented in the Yukon-Tanana Terrane. The dataset covers mineralization across southeastern Yukon, Dawson, Glenlyon, Teslin-Rancheria areas, and parts of Alaska, produced by the Government of Yukon. It was last updated on 2026-04-17.

Use Cases

• Resource estimation modeling based on detailed deposit tonnage and grade figures
• Geological mapping and correlation based on stratigraphic host rock descriptions
• Regional exploration targeting based on the distribution of VMS occurrences across Yukon and Alaska
• Comparative analysis of deposit types based on metal content (Cu, Zn, Pb, Ag, Au) across different stratigraphic successions

Strengths

• Contains specific tonnage and grade figures for five major deposits (e.g., Wolverine: 6,237,000 tonnes, 12.66% Zn)
• Provides detailed geological context including stratigraphic position, host rock types, and terrane information
• Describes a regional scope covering multiple districts in Yukon, British Columbia, and Alaska

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 open_canada platform's focus on Canadian regions
