40Ar/39Ar data from the northern Fairbanks mining district, Circle Quadrangle, Alaska

40Ar/39Ar data from the northern Fairbanks mining district, Circle Quadrangle, Alaska, Raw Data File 2025-1, presents 40Ar/39Ar step-heating geochronology results for igneous and metamorphic rocks from the Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys' (DGGS) geologic mapping project in the northern Fairbanks mining district, covering parts of the Circle A-4, A-5, B-4, and B-5 quadrangles, Alaska. Field samples were collected by the DGGS Mineral Resources Section during a detailed geologic mapping campaign in June 2007. In addition to analytical data compiled in the geologic map for this area, other DGGS publications supporting geologic mapping in the northern Fairbanks mining district include geophysical data, geochemical data, and a planned U-Pb detrital zircon age report. The northern Fairbanks mining district map area lies within the Yukon-Tanana Upland in rocks that we interpret to correlate with the Cambrian to Late Proterozoic Fairbanks schist and the Wickersham Grit unit. These rocks are intruded by several phases of plutonism, of which two occur in the map area: Tertiary and Cretaceous plugs, dikes, and sills with characteristic geochemical signatures. The Cretaceous intrusions are regionally associated with placer- and lode-gold mines and occurrences. The age data in this report constrain the crystallization ages of igneous rocks, the potential timing of mineralization, and the cooling histories of metamorphic rocks in the map area. These data and report are available from the DGGS website: http://doi.org/10.14509/31472.
