A new mineral occurrence in Yukon-Tanana Terrane near Little Salmon Lake (105 L/2), central Yukon

Description

A new occurrence of sulphide-bearing iron formation is reported from a roadcut of Yukon-Tanana Terrane rocks along the Robert Campbell Highway, near Little Salmon Lake. This new discovery confirms the high potential for volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits similar to those of the Finlayson Lake district in Yukon-Tanana Terrane southwest of Tintina Trench.
