Contains all the digital data files that were assembled or created during the Finlayson Lake TGI project. It includes two MS Access databases of field observations (bedrock and surficial), scanned and digitized maps, a series of georeferenced images (geophysical and LandSat), and a collection of reports from the Yukon Exploration and Geology (YEG) series. The data are presented in formats that can be viewed using four software products. Adobe Acrobat Reader 5 and ESRI ArcExplorer 2 are provided. Microsoft Internet Explorer is required to view the interface screens (Netscape may not work properly). A runtime version of Microsoft Access is also included to view the field databases if the user does not already have Microsoft Access installed on their computer. These four software products, or equivalent licensed versions, must be installed to utilize the full interactive capability. The spatial data can also be manually opened or imported.

This data package contains results for parts of the Glenlyon survey area (NTS 105K west and 105L). This information has been provided in a variety of digital formats. PDF files include survey descriptions and details regarding methods, analytical data listings and summary statistics. Raw digital data of original field and analytical information plus new reanalysis results are included in Microsoft®Excel (XLS) format. NGR surveys were originally conducted in the Glenlyon map area in 1988 and covered parts of NTS map sheets 105K and L (Friske and Hornbrook, 1989). Stream sediment and water samples were collected from a total of 1378 sample sites. The work was undertaken by the GSC in conjunction with the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development, and the Government of Yukon under the Canada-Yukon Mineral Development Agreement (1985-1989). As part of the 2011 Yukon Database Upgrade Project, original material collected from 1096 sample sites were selected for reanalysis. In 2014, material from the remaining 282 samples sites was selected for reanalysis. Representative 2 gram splits were successfully recovered from a total of 1460 samples. Due to a deficiency of available material, 1 sample was not recovered. The samples were delivered to Bureau Veritas Commodities Canada Ltd. (Vancouver) and were analyzed by an ultra-trace aqua-regia digestion ICP-MS package for 53 elements.

These georeferenced pdf maps contain the most current bedrock geology information in Yukon. They are intended for use in software such as Avenza PDF Maps. The geological data used to create these maps can be downloaded at https://data.geology.gov.yk.ca/Compilation/3. These maps are subject to periodic updates. The Yukon Geological Survey welcomes any revisions or new geological information. Any questions or comments can be directed to geology@gov.yk.ca.

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) spatial database of bedrock geology, surficial geology, mineral deposits, paleontology and geochronology for the Yukon Territory. It also contains a portfolio of georeferenced regional aeromagnetic images. All spatial database files are provided in two projections. The UTM coordinate system (disc 2) is commonly used at detailed scales. Albers equal area projection (disc 1) is provided to allow viewing or querying of larger areas that cross UTM zone boundaries. The datafiles are provided in various formats including an ARC/INFO coverage library, ARC/INFO interchange format (*.e00) and shapefile format (*.shp).

This data package contains results for parts of the Carmacks survey area (NTS 115I). This information has been provided in a variety of digital formats. PDF files include survey descriptions and details regarding methods, analytical data listings and summary statistics. Raw digital data of original field and analytical information plus new reanalysis results are included in Microsoft®Excel (XLS) format. NGR surveys were originally conducted in the Carmacks map area in 1985 and covered parts of NTS map sheet 115I (Geological Survey of Canada, 1986). Stream sediment and water samples were collected from a total of 951 sample sites. The work was undertaken by the GSC in conjunction with the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development, and the government of Yukon under the Canada-Yukon Mineral Development Agreement (1985-1989). As part of the 2014 Yukon Database Upgrade Project, original material collected from the 951 sample sites were selected for reanalysis. Representative 2 gram splits were successfully recovered from a total of 985 samples. Due to a deficiency of available material, 4 samples were not recovered. The samples were delivered to Bureau Veritas Commodities Canada Ltd. (Vancouver) and were analyzed by an ultra-trace aqua-regia digestion ICP-MS package for 53 elements.

Includes a geological cross section, mineral occurrences and isotopic age dates.

The Yukon Digital Bedrock Geology dataset was first released in 1999. It was rebuilt and expanded in 2016 and has since received regular updates. This paper summarizes the enhancements made to the bedrock geology dataset since 2016, the other ancillary geoscience datasets available, and the various ways to access and use the dataset.

This update of the Yukon bedrock geology map builds upon the previous compilation by Gordey and Makepeace (1999, 2001). The data set includes the bedrock geology, faults and contacts, geochronology and map index; published by Yukon Geological Survey (January 2022). New digital data are being released incrementally and will be updated regularly as new parts of the compilation are ready. Any errors noted by the user of this data should be reported promptly to the Yukon Geological Survey.
