Fieldwork was completed in July/August, 2001 in northern Yukon. Fieldwork included investigating results from the stream sediment geochemical survey commissioned to the GSC in the summer of 2000. This survey had been designed to complete the geochemical coverage over the Eagle Plains ecoregion, cover the transition zone between neighboring ecoregions and fill a gap in RGS coverage between pre-existing surveys.
The 2001 fieldwork was designed to investigate the most significant RGS anomalies, prospect for mineral occurrences, sample the stratigraphy to determine background metal content, document the geological environment and collect information with the objective of adding to the understanding of the mineral potential of the area.
