Surficial Geology of Whitehorse, Yukon map

This map of the first vertical derivative of the magnetic field was derived from data acquired during an aeromagnetic survey carried out by Fugro Airborne Surveys during the period April 17, 2006 to August 26, 2007. The data were recorded using a split-beam cesium vapour magnetometer (sensitivity...

Geological map including geological cross-sections, mineral occurrences and preliminary isotopic age determinations.

Results from the geological mapping of four 1:50 000 map areas (NTS 105D/13-16) north of Whitehorse are presented. The maps form a transect across the northern portion of Stikinia, an accreted terrane of uncertain origin. This bulletin establishes a stratigraphic nomenclature, and provides...

The Apex Mountain map area is located in the central part of the Dawson Range. Apex Mountain is the highest summit reaching an elevation of 2000 m. Upland topography changes from rounded summits throughout much of the southern half of the map area to more rugged terrain in the north part of the...

Geological map including geological cross-sections and mineral occurrences.

Yukon Exploration 1989 provides details of exploration and mining activity in the Yukon for 1989, including placer mining. It discusses the geology of Yukon mineral deposits and mineral districts under active investigation and provides a summary of exploration work done by mineral exploration...

Soil morphology and geochemistry were studied at three mineral properties (gold; lead-zinc; copper-gold) in the unglaciated terrain of west-central Yukon. The purpose of this work was to describe soil and parent material properties, and to assess the effects of soil development and slope...

In 2008, the Yukon Geological Survey contracted Petrel Robertson Consulting Limited, of Calgary, Alberta, to undertake a conventional reservoir petrophysical assessment of wireline geophysical logs from 17 oil and gas exploration wells in the Peel Plateau and Plain exploration region of the...

The Rhyolite Creek map area is on the northeastern side of the Nisling Range. Summits and ridges in this part of the Nisling Range are between 1400 m and 1800 m above sea level. Much of the upland surface is treeless and is covered with weathered bedrock colluvium. Upland surficial deposits are...

YEG 2009 contains up-to-date information on mining and mineral exploration activity, studies by industry, and results of recent geological field studies. Information in this volume comes from prospectors, exploration and government geologists, mining companies and students who are willing to...

This CD-ROM contains stream sediment and water data. These data have been compiled in separate flatfiles in Microsoft Excel file format. These standard file formats are easily imported into most spreadsheet, database and GIS computer programs. Products derived from these raw data consist of: data...

McConnell ice-flow and glacial limits map (1:250 000 scale) of the Anvil District, central Yukon (105 K).

A stream sediment and water survey was carried out in the Coal River area of southeast Yukon during the summer of 2005. This survey was carried out under a Joint Research Agreement between the Yukon Government (Oil & Gas and Mineral Resources Division of the Department of Energy, Mines and...

Geological map (1:50 000 scale) of the Mt. Westman map area, central Yukon (NTS 106 D/1) including geological cross-sections, mineral occurrences and fossil localities.

Geological map of Blind Creek (NTS 105K/7 SW), Yukon (1:25 000 scale)

Yukon Exploration 1990 consists of three parts: Part A is a comprehensive overview of mining and exploration activity in Yukon; Part B summarizes the activities of the Exploration and Geological Services Division (EGSD) of the Northern Affairs Program, Yukon Region; and Part C documents...

Geology of the northern Whitehorse trough, Yukon (105E/12, 13 and parts of 11 and 14; 105L/4 and parts of 3 and 5; parts of 115H/9 and 16; 115I/1 and part of 8)

This report discusses the distribution of intrusion related and other mineral occurrences in the Whitehorse map-area, Yukon. Mineral occurrences recorded in the Archer, Cathro and Associates, Ltd., Northern Cordillera Mineral Inventory have been classified according to deposit type and principal...
