The Peel Basin aggregate potential study was initiated to provide an increased understanding of potential aggregate resources in the Peel River watershed. An improved understanding of regional aggregate potential will enhance project viability and encourage exploration investment in the Peel...

The Proterozoic to Cambrian carbonate rocks of the Bonnet Plume area are hosts to many lead-zinc occurrences. Some are classified as Mississippi-Valley-type deposits (MVTs) while others are thought to be veins. Six of the showings were sampled during the summer of 2000 for isotopic age dating...

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 map of the magnetic total 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 = 0.005 nT) mounted in the...

Magnetic First Vertical Derivative, 106E/NE-NW, Yukon Territory

Surficial geological map (1:50 000 scale) of Clear Creek drainage basin, central Yukon (NTS 115 P/11,12,13,14) including marginal notes on surficial geology, terrain classification and a schematic profile of Clear Creek drainage basin.

The Eagle Plain Basin and its environs is a potentially prospective petroleum province in the Yukon. Extensive initial exploration in this area, focused on discovering crude oil, identified 83.7 Bcf of natural gas and 11.05 MMbbls of crude oil, with 33 wells, many of which had shows of petroleum...

Yukon Exploration and Geology Overview 2010

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...

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.

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...

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...
