The Irvine Lake and Gravel lake map-areas (NTS 105 B/10,11) lie within the northern Omineca Belt, west of the Tintina-Northern Rocky Mountain Trench (NRMT) fault. The eastern part of the area is underlain by Proterozoic to early Paleozoic meta-sedimentary rocks of Cassiar terrane (Monger, 1984),...

This volume contains overviews on Yukon Mining, Development and Exploration, Placer Mining, Mining Incentives Program, and activities of the Yukon Geological Survey. Mineral exploration in Yukon increased dramatically in 2004 with estimated total expenditures of $22 million, compared to $13...

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...
