Atlas of Late Triassic to Jurassic plutons in the Intermontane terranes of Yukon

This Atlas presents an extensive geoscience data set for the Late Triassic to Jurassic plutons that intrude the Intermontane terranes in Yukon. Plutons of this age are associated with significant porphyry Cu ± Au ± Mo deposits in British Columbia. In Yukon, Cu–Au–Ag deposits at Minto and Carmacks Copper are hosted by an Early Jurassic batholith but are not typical porphyry deposits. This project aims to provide the regional framework for Late Triassic to Jurassic plutons and associated mineral occurrences in southern Yukon. We systematically describe over 34 plutons and present new data for most of these, including 47 U-Pb zircon dates, 44 Ar-Ar dates, 187 whole-rock geochemical analyses, 30 whole-rock Sr and Nd isotope analyses, 27 feldspar Pb isotope analyses, zircon Hf isotope analyses for 22 samples and 26 pressure estimates from aluminum-in-hornblende analyses. Complementing these analytical data are extensive photomicrographs, photographs and maps.
