Surficial geological map (1:50 000 scale) of Mount Haldane area, central Yukon (NTS 105 M/13) including marginal notes on physiography, glacial history, placer gold potential and terrain hazards.

Yukon Exploration and Geology 1997: Mining and Exploration Overview is published as a stand-alone report as well as within the larger publication Yukon Exploration and Geology 1997. It gives a comprehensive overview of mining and exploration activity in the Yukon, including placer mining.

Geological map (1:50 000 scale) of the Two Beaver Lake map area, eastern Ogilvie Mountains, central Yukon (NTS 116 A/11) including geological cross-sections and mineral occurrences.

Surficial Geology of Fenwick Creek Map

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...

Surficial Geology of the Howard?s Pass area (NTS 105I/12 and parts of 105I/11, 6 and 5 and 105J/9 and 8 ), Yukon and Northwest Territories

This project was undertaken to evaluate the potential to economically recover additional metal values from the 4.6 million tons of Keno Hill flotation tailings which grades 3-4 oz/t silver, 0.8% lead and 0.9% zinc. The study determined that the higher grade portion of the tailing, containing some...

Three allochthonous terranes, igneous rocks of the Cretaceous and Tertiary Coast Plutonic Complex and associated volcanic complexes comprise the geology between Whitehorse and the Yukon-BC border. The Paleozoic and older(?) Nisling Terrane is composed of the quartz-rich Nisling assemblage, the...

Yukon Exploration and Geology 1992 consists of three parts: Part A is a comprehensive overview of mining and exploration activity in the Yukon; Part B summarizes the activities of the Exploration and Geological Services Division (EGSD) of the Northern Affairs Program; Yukon Region and the...

Geological map (1:50 000 scale) of Upper Laberge map area, southern Yukon Territory (NTS 105 D/14) including a geological cross-section and mineral occurrences.

Geological map (1:1 000 000 scale) of the Yukon Territory, including platinum potential, platinum occurrences, a list of selected geological units with PGE potential, density of geochemical anomalies for nickel, chromium and cobalt and selected stream silt anomalies for nickel, cobalt and...

This map was compiled from data obtained as a result of an aeromagnetic survey carried out by Fugro Airborne Surveys using a Cessna Caravan (registration C-FZLK) aircraft. A 0.005 nT sensitivity split-beam cesium vapour magnetometer was mounted in the tail boom of the survey aircraft. The survey...

This report is an account of our work testing the viability of floater dredging for placer gold in permafrost. Floater dredging is a method of mining which uses a hydraulic excavator to feed placer gravel to a floating gravel processing plant. We wanted to see if the digging face of a dredge pond...

Geological map (1:50 000 scale) of Sprague Creek area, central Yukon (NTS 115 P/15)

This volume of Yukon Geology is the second of a series that reports on geology of the Yukon, especially those studies with an economic aspect. It is an outgrowth of the Yukon Exploration and Geology series, containing the material that made up the first half of the book. That material forming the...
