Stratigraphic framework for syngenetic mineral occurrences, Yukon-Tanana Terrane south of Finlayson lake: A progress report
Yukon-Tanana Terrane in Grass Lakes map area south of Finlayson Lake consists of highly deformed though regionally mappable metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks. Four newly revised map units and various subunits have been traced throughout the area. These include unit 1, a quartz-rich metaclastic unit with felsic metavolcanic rocks at its lowest exposed level and a middle calcareous marker; unit 2, a mafic metavolcanic unit with lesser carbonaceous metasedimentary rocks; unit 3, a carbonaceous phyllite and quartzite and felsic metavolcanic unit, and unit 4, an upper unit of carbonaceous phyllite, mafic metavolcanic rocks and coarse-grained quartzofeldspathic metaclastic rocks. Units 2 and 4 have been redefined from a previous report based on new observations and a consideration of the provenance of coarse-grained quartzofeldspathic metaconglomerates now included in unit 4. In the current interpretation, the metaconglomerate-bearing strata north of and overlying the felsic meta-volcanic rocks hosting Kudz Ze Kayah are considered to unconformably overlie them.
Three of these map units are associated with mineral occurrences or deposits. Rusty, locally malachite-stained muscovite-quartz schist at Arcturus Resources' First Base claims and Expatriate Resources' Blue Line and Winger claims belong to the felsic metavolcanic part of unit 1. Columbia Gold's Fyre Lake deposit is hosted in unit 2 mafic metavolcanic rocks, possibly associated with a synvolcanic fault. Cominco's Kudz Ze Kayah deposit occurs in unit 3 felsic metavolcanic rocks. Gossans on Cominco's Cobb claims, Expatriate's Overtime and NHL claims, and Atna/Westmin's Pack claims and anomalous copper in soils at Arcturus' Bas claims are also spatially associated with this unit.
