Yukon mineral deposits and occurrences are classified into specific deposit models for regional mineral potential assessments. The work began with assessments by the Yukon government and uses a quantitative method based on USGS models. Grade and tonnage information for deposit types in Yukon was compiled, with curves constructed and models assigned to known occurrences.
Use Cases
- Classify mineral deposits based on defined deposit models mentioned in the description
- Assess regional mineral potential probability based on grade and tonnage curves
- Compare Yukon deposit characteristics with USGS models referenced in the description
Strengths
- Based on a quantitative assessment method developed by the United States Geological Survey
- Includes compiled grade and tonnage information for deposit types in Yukon
- Models are assigned to known Yukon MINFILE occurrences
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
