In unconsolidated material, penetration rates for the all-terrain-vehicle (ATV) drill ranged from 3 ft/hr (0.9 m/hr) in frozen sandy pebble/cobble gravel to 33 ft/hr (10 m/hr) in unfrozen, loose muck. Drilling penetration was influenced by: 1)...
Yukon placer activity map (1:1 000 000 scale) including glacial limits and ice-flow direction, inset maps of the Mayo and Dawson areas and descriptive notes on Yukon placer deposits.
This map was produced as part of a biophysical mapping pilot 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...
The Toshingermann Lakes map area straddles the northwestern extent of the Ruby and Nisling ranges. Broad treeless uplands dominate the landscape and summits reach more than 1800 m above sea level. Upland surfaces are covered with weathered...
Surficial geological map and till geochemistry (copper, lead and zinc) of Mount Mye area.
This report outlines the results and the conclusions of a study of the mineral potential of the Eagle Plains area. The accompanying mineral potential map ranks the different tracts according to their relative order of mineral potential, from...
Geological map (1:50 000 scale) of "Dolores Creek" area, Wernecke Mountains, central Yukon (NTS 106 C/14) including geological cross-sections and mineral occurrences.
Geology of the Carcross (105 D/2) and part of the Robinson (105 D/7) map areas, south of Whitehorse, Yukon, were mapped at 1::50 000 scale during the 1988 field season. The map areas are within the Teslin Plateau and Boundary Ranges physiographic...
Biophysical or ecosystem mapping is built on the principle that vegetation composition and distribution responds in predictable ways to specific abiotic terrain conditions. Terrain (surficial geology) mapping and subsequent stratification into...
This is the third in a series of five-year planning documents that have guided government geoscience in the Yukon over the last ten years. It presents a broad set of needs and priorities for Yukon geoscience for the next five years, but is not a...
