Lithostratigraphic metallotect ranking of non-plutonic rocks in Yukon
The purpose of the project is to use the lithostratigraphic data in the Yukon bedrock geology geodatabase to rank geologic polygons in terms of their capability to host mineral deposits. Twelve specific mineral deposit models are considered; lithostratigraphic metallotect maps have been created for each deposit type. These maps and the associated table of metallotect rankings are envisioned as layers of information for mineral potential studies and mineral exploration.
The Government of Yukon acknowledges that Indigenous Peoples have traditional territories throughout the Yukon and celebrates their role as stewards of the lands and waters and their ongoing connection to this place.
