Government of Yukon

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...

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...

A preliminary geological map (1:25 000 scale) of Mount Skukum volcanic complex, southern Yukon (NTS 105 D/2,3,4,5), including one cross-section.

The McQuesten River region in the northern part of the McQuesten and Mayo map areas (scale 1:250 000) is underlain by Upper Proterozoic to Mississippian rocks that were deposited in an offshelf setting during the formation of the northern Cordilleran continental margin, deformed during the...

First finding of Pt-Pd-rich chromitite and platinum-group element mineralization in southwest Yukon mantle peridotite complexes

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...

Geology of Southwestern Yukon

This interim report has reviewed stratigraphic characteristics of the lowermost succession of Proterozoic rocks exposed in the northern Wernecke Mountains. This sequence of rocks, which is in excess of 13 km thick, is named the Wernecke Supergroup. The Wernecke Supergroup is composed of three...

Interpretive geology of the Jakes Corner geophysical survey, southern Yukon, (NTS 105 C/5 and 105 D/8,9) including one 1:50 000-scale map and an interpretive report. The accompanying geological map is designed to be overlain upon the 1:50 000 geophysical maps of Open File 1994-10 (G). It...
