Central Yukon NGR stream sediment and water surveys, 1977
Project Description
In 1977, areas in central Yukon were sampled to complement areas previously sampled in 1964 (Keno Hill Survey) and 1976 (GSC OFs 418, 419 and 420) in order to provide uniform coverage across the area. The resultant combined dataset covers an area extending between 64 o N and 65 o 30’N and 133 o W and 141 o W (the Alaska border), totaling approximately 60 000 km 2. Samples from 1976 that did not fall within the area of the 1977 survey are not included in the combined dataset. Although Keno Hill lies entirely in the 1977 survey area, only some of the samples are in the combined data set because they were collected at a very high density and only some were chosen to meet the NGR protocol of 1 sample per 13km 2.
The combined data are published in GSC Open Files 518 (106C, D, E, F), 519 (116A, H) and 520 (116B, C, F, G). The 1964 Keno Hill samples are located in the SW corner of NTS 106D.
Detailed surveys of 12 areas were carried out in conjunction with the NGR reconnaissance surveys. These data were never published.
