This report contains three main sections: 1) introduction, description of Exploration and Geological Services Division and overview of the Yukon Mineral industry; 2) technical reports by government and contributing geologists on the geology of Yukon mineral deposits and mineral districts under...

Placer mining involves washing stream gravel to separate and save free gold particles. Usually a placer mine must discharge excess effluent water, which contains some residual suspended fine silt and clay particles, from a settling pond, back into the stream. This study examines the applicability...

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...

Surficial Geology Map of Rose Mountain (105K/5 SE), Central Yukon

Individual papers from the overview are available for download. The Casino and Minto property descriptions each have an accompanying appendix that is only available digitally.

Geological map of NTS 95D/8 (1:50 000 scale)

Geological map (1:1 000 000 scale) of the Yukon Territory, including the following inset maps:: terrane map; physiographic regions map; glacial limits map; aeromagnetic image map; and NTS index map.

A sequence of Permo-Triassic rocks within a 260 square kilometre part of the Kluane Ranges, southwestern Yukon, consists of Lower Permian volcaniclastic and sedimentary rocks, disconformably overlain by upper Triassic amygdaloidal volcanic rocks. Mafic to ultramafic rocks occur within the upper...

Surficial geological map (1:50 000 scale) of the Yukon and Sixtymile river valleys (parts of 115 O/5, 12 and 115 N/9), western Yukon, including marginal notes on surficial geology, geomorphology and placer occurrences.

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...

Geological map of NTS 106B/04, east-central Yukon

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...

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...
