Geological overview of Clear Creek map area (NTS 115P/14), western Selwyn Basin
Clear Creek map area of central Yukon is underlain by deformed and metamorphosed Proterozoic and Paleozoic rocks of western Selwyn Basin (Hyland Group, unnamed carbonate unit, Road River and Earn groups) and mid-Cretaceous felsic intrusions. Metasedimentary rocks are disposed in a warped northwest to northeast-dipping structural panel with younger, structurally shallow rocks in the north and older, structurally deeper rocks in the south. Younger rocks in the north are deformed into Lost Horses syncline, a southwest-overturned tight to isoclinal syncline with an axial surface trace extending across the northern part of the area. Older rocks at deeper structural levels in the south are deformed by a suite of fabric elements that probably post-date Lost Horses syncline, indicate a top-to-the-northwest sense of tectonic transport, and are probably related to Early Cretaceous displacement on the Tombstone thrust. Subsequent deformation warped the panel into its current orientation. All structures are intruded by mid-Cretaceous felsic intrusions including hornblende-biotite (rare muscovite) granite, quartz monzonite, granodiorite, syenite, and quartz syenite. Mineral occurrences are mainly precious metal, tin, and/or tungsten bearing vein, skarn, and breccias associated with felsic intrusions. Bedded barite occurs in Earn Group strata. New analyses of mineralized samples confirm earlier data reporting significant gold values in veins cutting felsic intrusions and nearby country rock, and correlation of anomalous gold with anomalous bismuth in some veins.

Geology and mineral occurrences of Sprague Creek map area (115P/15), western Selwyn Basin
공공데이터포털
Sprague Creek map area is underlain by multiply deformed Upper Proterozoic to mid-Paleozoic metasedimentary rocks and undeformed Cretaceous felsic intrusions. The oldest and structurally deepest rocks underlie most of the southern two-thirds of the map area. Three phases of regional deformation and a younger suite of faults and fractures are represented in Sprague Creek map area. Mineral occurrences in the area comprise veins, breccias, and skarns spatially and probably genetically related to Cretaceous intrusions, and gossanous breccias along NNW-trending lineaments.
Updated bedrock geology of the southern Nash Creek area in central Yukon (parts of NTS 106D/2, 3, 6 and 7)
공공데이터포털
The southern Nash Creek area is located along the northern boundary of the Selwyn basin, and is underlain mainly by the Ediacaran–Cambrian Hyland Group, the Devonian–Mississippian Earn Group and the Mississippian Tsichu Group. Several Au and polymetallic mineral deposits are hosted by the Hyland Group and Paleozoic platformal carbonate rocks in the surrounding region. The southern Nash Creek area is bordered by regional-scale, southeast-striking thrust faults, which include the Dawson thrust to the northeast and the Robert Service thrust to the southwest. Based on stratigraphic relationships identified during 1:50 000-scale bedrock mapping, Hyland Group rocks in the area are considered to belong to the Cryogenian–Ediacaran Yusezyu Formation, the Ediacaran Algae Formation and the Ediacaran–Terreneuvian Narchilla Formation. Earn Group rocks include mainly shale and lesser amounts of interbedded dolostone, sandstone and shale. Tsichu Group rocks mostly comprise quartzite. The Yusezyu and Narchilla formations host (Paleozoic?) gabbro sills, and the Earn and Tsichu groups host gabbro sills that are considered to belong to the Triassic Galena suite. Rocks in the southern Nash Creek area exhibit a northeast-to-southwest dipping foliation that is axial planar to southeast-trending folds.
Preliminary geology of the Pool Creek map area (95C/5), southeastern Yukon
공공데이터포털
Fieldwork in the northwest corner of Pool Creek map area (NTS 95C/5) during the summer of 2000 distinguished North and South areas with distinct stratigraphies and deformation histories. The South area is underlain mainly by siliciclastic sedimentary rocks (1100 m total thickness in three units) of uncertain age (Proterozoic?). North area stratigraphy (1800 m total thickness in seven units) ranges in age from Ordovician to Mississippian and consists of an interbedded succession of carbonates,sandstones, siltstones,and shales.Major shale units in the succession are correlated with Road River and Earn groups. Strata in both areas have been intruded by a north-trending, unfoliated, Eocene (?) syenite. The syenite has a thin contact metamorphic aureole consisting of skarn, gossan, and biotite hornfels. Deformation in the South area is characterized by broad, northeast-trending, subhorizontal folds, which are likely coeval with syenite intrusion. Units in the North area are deformed into tight, overturned, north-plunging, east-verging folds with a well developed, axial planar, slaty cleavage in the hinge zones. North area deformation probably predates syenite intrusion. Our fieldwork confirmed previously reported U-Th-REE prospects associated with the syenite and favourable stratigraphy for sedimentary-exhalative targets in the North area.

Geological Framework of West Lake Map Area (NTS 105 N/9), Hess Mountains, East-Central Yukon
공공데이터포털
West Lake map area (105N/9) is underlain by three fault-bounded structural blocks containing tectonically thickened (Late Proterozoic to Mississippian) Selwyn Basin strata. Northeast of the West Lake Fault tightly folded Hyland Group is structurally overlain by Road River Group. Between the West Lake and Wilson Range faults Hyland Group is thrust over Earn Group. In this block the variety of rocks preserved beneath the sub-Earn Group unconformity is greater than surrounding areas. Southwest of the Wilson Range Fault is a tectonically thickened, homoclinal succession of Road River and Earn groups. Silver-bearing quartz veins above and below a thrust fault were mined at the Plata occurrence. Anomalously high Ag, Zn and Pb concentrations in stream sediments result from black shale of the Earn Group exposed in three belts across the map area.
