Catchment basin analysis and weighted sums modeling: enhanced interpretation of RGS data using examples from map sheets 105M, 105O, and part of 105P

Yukon Geological Survey re-analyzed stream sediment sample pulps from GSC's archives in Ottawa. As a next step to improving the dataset, two of the areas covered by the recently-released Open Files were selected for further data processing to add value to the raw data. Catchment areas were delineated for each sample, and data were modeled to isolate the geochemical signatures that are characteristic of the known mineral deposit types in the area. This report and the accompanying series of maps present the results of this “value-added” analysis of raw stream sediment geochemical data. The project was funded by the Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency (CanNor) through their Strategic Investments in Northern Economic Development program.
