Historic gold grades, dredge extents, and footprints of digitized maps from the Yukon Consolidated Gold Corporation (YCGC).

The Yukon Consolidated Gold Corporation (YCGC) tested, mined, and documented placer gold resources in the Dawson region from 1923 to 1965. The company was established to acquire the holdings of other dredging operations and smaller companies in the Klondike, and during the time it was active in Yukon, YCGC produced a robust collection of maps and textual documents including drilling results, dredge reserves, thawing and stripping layouts, and dredging limits. This paper uses historic YCGC data to summarize gold distribution characteristics in Hunker Creek and builds upon previously published summaries of YCGC data. Attributes of 1005 YCGC drill holes and shafts along lower Hunker Creek and a short section of the Klondike River were digitized, compiled, and analyzed in a Geographical Information System (GIS). A raster analysis of the digitized data allows for interpretation and examination of surficial material thicknesses and gold distribution in the project area and identifies potential prospects for further exploration.

Contains digital data files that were assembled or created from the 2002 Glenlyon component of the Targeted Geoscience Initiative (TGI) project. All data are provided in formats easily explored using widely available free softwares. Features include GIS spatial data of bedrock and surficial geology, generalized background topography and georeferenced geophysical and satellite raster images. Interactive map projects to allow viewing and querying of the spatial data using a variety of common GIS software (ArcExplorer 2.0, ArcView 3.x, ArcMap 8.x, and MapInfo) Databases of field observations (bedrock and surficial geology) Publications relevant to the study area, including open file maps, and a collection of reports from the Yukon Exploration and Geology (YEG) series A photo gallery to illustrate representative rock units and surficial geology features Free softwares (Adobe Acrobat Reader 5 and ESRI ArcExplorer 2) for viewing publications and interactive maps.

Contains all the digital data files that were assembled or created during the Finlayson Lake TGI project. It includes two MS Access databases of field observations (bedrock and surficial), scanned and digitized maps, a series of georeferenced images (geophysical and LandSat), and a collection of reports from the Yukon Exploration and Geology (YEG) series. The data are presented in formats that can be viewed using four software products. Adobe Acrobat Reader 5 and ESRI ArcExplorer 2 are provided. Microsoft Internet Explorer is required to view the interface screens (Netscape may not work properly). A runtime version of Microsoft Access is also included to view the field databases if the user does not already have Microsoft Access installed on their computer. These four software products, or equivalent licensed versions, must be installed to utilize the full interactive capability. The spatial data can also be manually opened or imported.

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.

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.

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.
