Surficial geology and Quaternary history of Stevenson Ridge and northern parts of Kluane Lake map areas, Yukon (115K and 115F)
This bulletin describes the surficial geology and Quaternary history of the Stevenson Ridge and northern Kluane Lake map sheets, an area covering more than 12 000 square kilometres of southwestern Yukon. The map area straddles the Pleistocene glacial limits that formed the eastern margin of Beringia during glacial periods. As a result, the landforms of this region are diverse and reflect the contrasting geomorphology characteristic of glaciated versus unglaciated terrain. Importantly, work in this region filled a significant gap in our knowledge of central Yukon glacial limits and how adjacent landscapes were impacted by the Cordilleran Ice Sheet. Our goal was to produce an in depth description of the region’s surficial geology that is applicable for a wide range of purposes. While this region is remote, there is growing interest in its mineral endowment, specifically in the Dawson Range, east of the White River, and in the Ruby Range. Knowledge of the surficial geology can be employed in exploration geochemistry programs to improve sampling and can assist in placer exploration. Future development in the region will also benefit from this work by providing a framework on terrain hazards, such as permafrost and landslides, and construction materials like aggregate. From a land use planning perspective, the surficial sediments and associated soils are an important control on the region’s biogeography and therefore, habitat. Hundreds of soil pits were hand excavated during this program and this work is reflected in the detailed descriptions within the bulletin and on the maps.

Preliminary geology of the Quill Creek map area, southwest Yukon parts of NTS 115G/5, 6 and 12
공공데이터포털
Geologic mapping within the Quill Creek area identified complex stratigraphic and structural relationships that characterize much of the Kluane Ranges in southwest Yukon. Bedrock in the Quill Creek area consists of Late Paleozoic to mid-Mesozoic volcanic and sedimentary rocks belonging to the Wrangellia Terrane. These rocks are intruded by Upper Triassic mafic and ultramafic sills and dykes and Early Cretaceous to Oligocene granitic rocks. At least two phases of folding are recognized that affect rocks throughout the mapped area. Early phase folds are likely associated with large, low-angle thrust faults. Reactivation of thrusts during younger strike-slip faulting may be responsible for refolding of the early folds. Several known mineralized showings occur within the Quill Creek area, including extensive nickelcopper- platinum group element mineralization associated with the ultramafic sills. Samples collected during 2004 mapping indicate potential for copper-silver mineralization at the base of Upper Triassic volcanic rocks.

공공데이터포털
The Kluane Ranges, located in southwest Yukon, are underlain by Late Paleozoic to Late Triassic volcanic and sedimentary rocks assigned to Wrangellia. Bedrock mapping completed within the White River area indicates Wrangellian rocks underwent several phases of deformation between Late Triassic and Miocene time. Middle Triassic marine, fine-grained sedimentary rocks are preserved in grabens where they are overlain by basal conglomerates and breccias of the Nikolai formation. The grabens are related to uplift associated with the deposition of Nikolai formation flood basalts and intrusion of ultramafic bodies. Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous compression resulted in structural stacking of older rocks and northeast- and southwest-verging overturned folds. Latest (?) Cretaceous to Miocene dextral strike-slip along the Denali fault system led to the formation of steeply dipping faults, extensional and compressional basins and refolding of older regional scale folds. Reactivation of Jura-Cretaceous faults also occurred at this time. An enigmatic pre-Middle Triassic deformation event is believed to be preserved locally in rocks of the Hasen Creek Formation.
