At the Jason lead-zinc-silver-barium deposit, Yukon Territory
Abstract
The Macmillan Pass shale-hosted mineral district is located 400 km northeast of Whitehorse, Yukon Territory. On the Jason property, surface exploration based primarily on geological mapping and soil geochemistry has led to the discovery of three massive to laminated deposits rich in lead, zinc, silver, barium and iron. To date, diamond drilling has outlined geological reserves of 14.1 million tonnes grading 7.09% Pb, 6.57% Zn and 79.9 g/t Ag.
