This report documents the state of the Placer Mining Industry in the Yukon Territory for the 1993 and 1994 mining seasons. This report differs from previous volumes in that the placer mining inspection reports are organized by drainage basin. The majority of this volume consists of detailed...

The Tantalus Formation developed within confined intermontane river valleys during the late stages of collision and amalgamation of Stikinia and associated arc systems with the North American plate in Upper Jurassic and early Lower Cretaceous times. While most of the extensive chert pebble...

This third volume of Yukon Geology represents five years of geoscientific research sponsored and funded by Exploration and Geological Services Division (EGSD). Under the Northern Mineral Policy, Indian and Northern Affairs Canada has the responsibility to develop ad maintain the geoscientific...

The 115J/06 map area is located at the confluence of the Nisling and Donjek rivers. The main physiographic feature in the map area is the Nisling River valley that separates the Nisling and Dawson ranges. Uplands on either side of the Nisling River valley reach elevations of 1066 m and are...

This is a re-release of data collected and published as the Yukon GEOPROCESS FILE between 1994-1996. The data set is a compilation of information and knowledge on geological processes and terrain hazards in the Yukon Territory. The original work was carried out in three phases from 1992 to 1995....

Yukon Exploration and Geology 1998 consists of four parts: Part A is a comprehensive overview of mining and exploration activity in the Yukon; Part B outlines the activity and organization of the Yukon Geology Program; Part C contains regional reports from new government mapping, geochemical and...

This map was produced as part of a biophysical mapping pilot project study carried out in the Watson Lake (NTS 105A/2) area in 2004. Biophysical mapping (also known as ecological land classification) is an integral system of mapping describing terrain conditions (surficial geology, slope,...

A total of twelve lithostratigraphic units, including ten autochthonous and two allochthonous units are recognized and most of these are divided into 27 subunits. They range from Cambrian to Quaternary in age and include a wide range of sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rock types. Lower...

Map of the first vertical derivative of the magnetic field derived from data acquired during an aeromagnetic survey carried out by Goldak Airborne Surveys from November 19, 2008 to February 19, 2009. The data were recorded using a split-beam cesium vapour magnetometer mounted in the tail boom of...

Preliminary geological map (1:50 000 scale) of Little Kalzas Lake area, central Yukon (NTS 105 L/13) including geological cross-sections, mineral occurrences, fossil localities and stratigraphic relations.

This map was compiled from data obtained as a result of an aeromagnetic survey carried out by Goldak Airborne Surveys using two Piper Navajo aircraft (registration C-FJBA and C-FJBB).The survey operations were carried out from July 18 to September 2, 2003. A 0.005 nT sensitivity split-beam cesium...

A preliminary geological map (1:25 000 scale) of Mount Skukum volcanic complex, southern Yukon (NTS 105 D/2,3,4,5), including one cross-section.

The McQuesten River region in the northern part of the McQuesten and Mayo map areas (scale 1:250 000) is underlain by Upper Proterozoic to Mississippian rocks that were deposited in an offshelf setting during the formation of the northern Cordilleran continental margin, deformed during the...

First finding of Pt-Pd-rich chromitite and platinum-group element mineralization in southwest Yukon mantle peridotite complexes

Local-scale surficial geology mapping was completed as part of a community hazards mapping program coordinated by the Northern Climate ExChange (Yukon Research Centre, Yukon College). This program assesses potential landscape hazards under changing future conditions by incorporating a variety of...

Surficial Geology of Carcross (NTS 105D/2), Yukon (1:50 000 scale)

Geological map (1:50 000 scale) of Little Salmon Lake area, central Yukon (parts of NTS 105 L/1,2 and 7) including geological cross-sections, mineral occurrences, isotopic age dates and fossil localities.

GSC Open File 2859/EGSD Open File 2001-11(D) is a CD-ROM that presents analytical and statistical data for 36 elements (Ag, As, Au, Ba, Br, Cd, Ce, Co, Cr, Cs, Cu, Eu, Fe, Hf, Hg, La, Lu, Mn, Mo, Na, Ni, Pb, Rb, Sb, Sc, Sm, Sn, Ta, Tb, Th, V, W, Yb and Zn) in sediments from 623 stream sites in...
