Yukon Platinum Potential Map and Geological Report

A 1:1,000,000 scale geological map of Yukon Territory details platinum potential and occurrences. The Government of Yukon produced this resource, which includes interpretations of regional silt geochemical anomalies and gravity data. It was last updated on April 17, 2026.

Use Cases

• Identify platinum-group element mineralization sites based on Yukon MINFILE occurrences
• Analyze regional exploration potential based on interpreted geochemical anomalies for nickel, chromium, and cobalt
• Evaluate placer platinum-group element deposits based on the accompanying report
• Correlate geological units with mineral potential using the list of selected units
• Interpret subsurface structures using gravity anomaly data

Strengths

• Map is at a 1:1,000,000 scale, providing regional geological context
• Includes multiple data layers: platinum occurrences, geochemical anomalies, and gravity anomalies
• Accompanied by a detailed report interpreting the data

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 Yukon region
