Bedrock geology at the boundary between Yukon-Tanana and Cassiar terranes, Truitt Creek map area (NTS 105L/1), south-central Yukon
공공데이터포털
The Tummel fault zone, a northwest-trending belt of rocks of uncertain age and/or tectonic affinity, separates Paleozoic miogeoclinal strata of Cassiar Terrane from Yukon-Tanana Terrane metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks. Northeast of the fault, Cassiar Terrane comprises pelitic and semipelitic rocks with rare amphibolite, which are correlated with the Kechika Group. These are overlain by carbonate correlated with the Askin Group. Southwest of the fault, in Yukon-Tanana Terrane, Devono-Mississippian siliciclastic rocks are overlain by Mississippian arc volcanic rocks. Granodiorite and diorite of the Telegraph Plutonic Suite (348-350 Ma) intrude the siliciclastic rocks. Foliated greenstone, leucogabbro intrusions, serpentinite and chert occur in the Tummel fault zone. The Early Cretaceous Glenlyon Batholith intrudes strata of Cassiar Terrane. Contact metamorphism recognized across the Tummel fault zone is interpreted to have been imposed by the Glenlyon Batholith. If correct, this interpretation requires that post-mid-Cretaceous displacement across the Tummel fault zone has been minimal (~5 km).
A structural analysis of the upper Swift River area, southeast Yukon (105 B/3), Part II: The TBMB claims and implications for the regional geology

The TBMB claim group, 4 km southwest of the Dan occurrence in the upper Swift River area of stratiform zinc occurrences, reveals the nature of the host rocks and style of folding. A train of east-southeast-trending, east-northeast-verging, km-scale F1 overturned anticlines and synclines dominates the area. These folds clearly control the distribution of low metamorphic grade tectonites (in map and vertical cross-sections) and a structural model allows definition of general stratigraphy of the TBMB and BOUND claim areas. A lower, an intermediate, and an upper unit of siliciclastic metasedimentary rocks are separated by two intervening units of base-metal -sulphide-bearing strata (acid to intermediate metavolcanic rock and marble, respectively). Based upon the repetitive F1 folds (possibly associated with thrust faults) and the similarity of rock types in the TBMB and Dan areas, the authors propose a structural linkage between them.
