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.

This data package contains results for parts of the Stewart River area (NTS 115N east and 115O). 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.

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.

In order to summarize the status of the Yukon NGR program this report provides details on the collection, preparation and analysis of stream sediment samples located within the Yukon territorial boundary; the current condition of the published digital database; and the type quality and quantity of archived sediment pulps saved from previous NGR surveys.

A stream sediment and water survey was carried out in the Coal River area of southeastern Yukon during the summer of 2005. This survey was carried out under a Joint Research Agreement between the Yukon Government (Oil & Gas and Mineral Resources Division of the Department of Energy, Mines and Resources) and the Federal Government, acting through the Earth Science Sector's Metals in the Environment Program. Analytical data accompany this document for 50 elements in stream sediments and 60 variables in waters from a total of 174 sites sampled in 2005. National Geochemical Reconnaissance protocol was used for the collection, preparation and analysis of waters and silts. Samples were collected in the Yukon Territory portion of NTS map sheet 95E, west of the height of land that marks the boundary between Yukon and Northwest Territories and separates the Coal River and Flat River drainage basins.

Archived Content Notice: This publication is provided for reference, research or recordkeeping purposes. It is not subject to the Government of Canada Web Standards and has not been altered or updated since it was archived. This is the second in a series of re-formatted Yukon National Geochemical Reconnaissance Open Files. Data were originally released in 1982 as GSC Open File 868. Re-analysis by INAA was carried out and released in 1999 as GSC Open File D3772. This is a CD-ROM of stream sediment and water geochemistry data for the Nahanni Map area. The following analyses were completed on stream sediments: Ag, As, Au, Ba, Br, Cd, Ce, Co, Cr, Cs, Cu, Eu, F, Fe, Hf, Hg, La, Loss-on-ignition, Lu, Mn, Mo, Na, Ni, P2O5, Pb, Rb, Sb, Sc, Sm, Ta, Tb, Th, U, V,W, Yb, and Zn. Stream waters were analyzed for: total alkalinity, Ca, Cl, F, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Nitrate, pH, phosphate, sulphate, U, and Zn.
