The purpose of this dataset is to provide quantitative analysis on specific commodities, offering insights into: - The total amount of specific commodities, e.g., Gold, in Yukon's hard rock deposits. - The highest-grade and largest deposits in Yukon. - The distribution of mineral resources within multiple zones in a deposit. - Source reports, direct links, and confidence levels for each mineral resource statement. - Differentiation between 43-101, JORC, and historical estimates. The resources in this dataset have been summarized and averaged to show the total geologic resource for a property or zone. For the exact numbers, please refer to the NI 43-101 compliant resource statement. +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | Field\ | Description\ | | \ | \ | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | Property\ | Property for which deposit | | \ | resource was calculated.\ | | | \ | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | Zone\ | Zone for which deposit resource | | \ | was calculated.\ | | | \ | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | 43-101 Compliant\ | If the resource calculation is NI | | \ | 43-101 compliant, JORC compliant, | | | or historic.\ | | | \ | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | Commodities\ | The types of commodities | | \ | contained in the resource | | | calculation, order is | | | alphabetic.\ | | | \ | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | Categories\ | The resource categories used to | | \ | create the calculation.

The deposit models project is an attempt to classify the many known metallic mineral deposits and occurrences in Yukon into specific mineral deposit models. This work began with the initiation of regional mineral potential assessments by the Yukon government (e.g., Bradshaw and vanRanden, 2004). The quantitative method used for regional mineral assessments in Yukon is based on a method developed by the United States Geological Survey (USGS), which uses the mineral deposit models of Cox and Singer (1986). The reader is encouraged to consult this reference for further discussion on the fundamental purpose for defining mineral deposit models. In general terms, resource assessments require that tracts of land be assessed on the basis of probability for the occurrence of one or more specific deposits of a particular type with previously defined grades and tonnages. In the course of conducting regional mineral potential assessments, grade and tonnage information for deposit types that occur or potentially could occur in Yukon was compiled, grade and tonnage curves were constructed, and deposit models were assigned to known mineral deposits and occurrences (i.e., Yukon MINFILE occurrences).

The industrial minerals and minor metals are reviewed alphabetically. Where applicable, information has been included on mineral types, uses, deposit characteristics, mining methods, producers, market specification, prices, Canadian deposits and Yukon occurrences. Comments are also made on the likelihood of the discovery of Yukon deposits and the potential for their development. Industrial minerals and minor metals which have been identified as deserving more attention in the Yukon are grouped as follows: Group 1: Industrial mineral deposits known to occur in Yukon which could be developed given a likely change in market conditions. barite Group 2: Industrial minerals and minor metals which are presently known to occur in Yukon in uneconomic amounts, but for which there is a reasonable chance of discovering economically viable deposits. Cassiterite, fluorspar, gypsum, jade, nepheline syenite, olivine, phosphates, rare earths, talc. Group 3: Industrial minerals which, though presently unknown in Yukon, could be expected to occur, and which command a high enough price to encourage exploration. Celestite, china clay (kaolin), cryolite, diamonds, lascas Group 4: Industrial minerals and rocks for which baseline studies and inventories are needed to assess the potential for development or improve their present exploitation. Dimension stone, lime, peat, sand and gravel

This report includes a summary of the mineral exploration history of Yukon, an outline of the geology of its southern part, and brief descriptions of the most important mineral occurrences. The report brings together current ideas of the geology and examines the metal deposits in this context.

This publication is intended as a snapshot of the hard rock mineral resources of Yukon. It is up-to-date as of December 1, 2023. The tables herein have been compiled from information derived from Yukon MINFILE – A database of mineral occurrences, and from various technical reports and information filed in SEDAR (system for electronic document analysis and retrieval). This document does not include cut-off grades for resources and reserves. Numbers have been rounded for readability. Tonnages and grade are provided in metric measure – converted from imperial as required. Total contained metals are estimated as a result of tonnage multiplied by grade; reported values are converted to either metric or imperial as required. Amounts are for all deposits/zones on the property. Deposit resources are identified as being compliant with either the minimum requirement for mineral resources and reserves as defined by the Canadian National Instrument for the standards of disclosure for mineral projects (NI 43-101), the Australasian code for reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC) standards or the disclosure requirements for the mining companies in the United States, in accordance to the Securities and Exchange Commission Industry Guide 7 (S-K 1300). Deposits that are not compliant with these definitions are identified as historical estimates. The Owner/optionee indicate the company owner as stated in the resource estimate or on the company website. In the case of historical resource calculations where there is no resource estimate or website available, the owner is the registered quartz claim holder. The reader is encouraged to refer to the original reference for detailed information. We accept no responsibility for any errors or omissions.
