Placer Gold Potential Map - Dawson Land Use Plan (NTS 115N, O and part of 115P, 116B, C, F, G) Yukon

Placer Gold Potential Map - Dawson Land Use Plan (NTS 115N, O and part of 115P, 116B, C, F, G) Yukon The placer potential mapping process consisted of applying a classification rating of 1 to 5 (lowest to highest) for all streams within the planning area. Factors affecting a stream's potential included development history and hard rock mining potential (gold deposit potential). Terrain attributes such as potential overburden thichness, water flow, or local topography were not factored into the rating due to lack of knowledges for most unmined drainages. 2024-10-30 Government of Yukon geology@gov.yk.ca Science and TechnologyYukon Geological SurveyYukon Data MapHTML https://data.geology.gov.yk.ca/reference/67460 Original metadata (https://open.yukon.ca)HTML https://open.yukon.ca/data/datasets/placer-gold-potential-map-dawson-land-use-plan-nts-115n-o-and-part-115p-116b-c-f-g
