Publisher-reported update

2026-08-26

The Macmillan Pass area, in east-central Yukon Territory, contains what promises to be some of the most valuable mineral deposits yet discovered in the Territory. In addition to the TOM and JASON stratiform lead-zinc-silver-barite deposits, the area contains one of North America's largest tungsten deposits (Mactung deposit) as well as a relatively large tonnage stratiform barite deposit (TEA deposit) presently being exploited for use as oil well drilling mud. This report specifically deals with the TOM and JASON deposits, based on field investigations carried out by the writer during July and August. This report is accompanied by a 1:111 111-scale bedrock geology map of the TOM and JASON claims, Macmillan Pass area, east-central Yukon Territory (NTS 105 O/1 east half).
