The nature and extent of past glaciations are depicted on the glacial limits map of Yukon (1:1,000,000 scale). This compilation depicts the maximum extent of each glaciation and the general direction of ice movement, including the provenance of flows. This map also includes marginal notes on mapping criteria, as well as a list of references.

In 2008 Exploration Syndicate Inc. contracted Geotech Inc. to fly a regional-scale ZTEM survey covering a 25,000 km2 area (1 km line spacing) in the Selwyn basin. The survey footprint straddles the Canol Road in east-central Yukon and overlaps into the western Northwest Territories. In March 2013 Yukon Geological Survey purchased the survey data, and in May we received approval to distribute the data publicly. As no interpretation was included with the purchase of the data, Condor Consulting Inc. offered to process the data and generate maps, gridded data, and a report. Condor undertook the work at no charge, and their contribution to the project is gratefully acknowledged. This Miscellaneous Report comprises a number of parts: - original survey report produced by Geotech Ltd. describing the data acquisition and processing parameters; - raw survey data acquired from Exploration Syndicate Inc.; - a report summarizing the processing and interpretation undertaken by Condor Consulting; - a series of maps in pdf and tiff formats; and - gridded data. File sizes are large. If you experience problems downloading any of the products or would like to obtain the raw data, Geotech data, Multiplots, or any of the other files please contact us at geology@gov.yk.ca. The project was funded by the Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency (CanNor) through their Strategic Investments in Northern Economic Development program.

This map of the residual total magnetic field was derived from data acquired during an aeromagnetic survey carried out by Goldak Airborne Surveys during the period May 16, 2009 to July 1, 2009. The data were recorded using a split-beam cesium vapour magnetometer mounted in the tail boom of a Piper Navajo aircraft. The nominal traverse and control line spacings were 400 m and 2400 m, respectively, and the aircraft flew at a nominal terrain clearance of 150 m.

Reprocessing of magnetic data for Yukon was performed between November 2016 and March 2017. Aeromagnetic data were compiled, data of different resolutions were merged, and a series of images individually levelled for each map sheet were produced. For each 250k-scale map, the following magnetic derivative maps were produced: 1. Residual Total Magnetic Field; 2. Reduced-to-Pole Magnetic Field (RTP); 3. First Vertical Derivative of the Reduced-to-Pole Magnetic Field (RTP_VD); and 4. Tilt Derivative of the Reduced-to-Pole Magnetic Field (RTP_TDR). These maps are provided as pdfs, geotiffs and Geosoft grid files. Colour ramps/legends are provided for each map.

This map of the residual total magnetic field was derived from data acquired during a helicopter-borne aeromagnetic survey carried out by Fugro Airborne Surveys during the period between February 4 to March 15, 2010. The data were recorded using split-beam cesium vapour magnetometers (sensitivity = 0.005 nT) rigidly mounted on each of the two Astar 350B aircraft (C-FGSC and C-GAVO). The nominal traverse and control line spacings were, respectively, 400 m and 2 400 m, and the aircraft flew at a nominal terrain clearance of 100 m. Traverse lines were oriented N30°E with orthogonal control lines. The flight path was recovered following post-flight differential corrections to the raw Global Positioning System data and inspection of ground images recorded by a vertically-mounted video camera. The survey was flown on a pre-determined flight surface to minimize differences in magnetic values at the intersections of control and traverse lines.

This aeromagnetic survey was carried out by Goldak Airborne Surveys from February 17, 2014 to March 21, 2014. The data were collected using split-beam cesium vapour magnetometers mounted in each of the tail booms of 2 Piper Navajo aircraft. Nominal traverse and control line spacings were 400 and 1400 m, and the nominal terrain clearance was 125 m.

This aeromagnetic survey was carried out by Geo Data Solutions GDS Inc. from January 12, 2018 to March 16, 2018. The data were recorded using split-beam cesium vapour magnetometers mounted in the tail booms of a Beechcraft King Air and a Piper Navajo. The nominal traverse and control line spacings were 400 m and 2400 m, and the aircraft flew at a nominal terrain clearance of 150 m. Travers lines were oriented N45°E with orthogonal control lines.
