This volume of Yukon Geology is the second of a series that reports on geology of the Yukon, especially those studies with an economic aspect. It is an outgrowth of the Yukon Exploration and Geology series, containing the material that made up the first half of the book. That material forming the second half of the book (summaries of mine production, current mineral exploration work and description of mineral showings) is now published in the Yukon Exploration series.
Most of the papers in this volume represent work of geologists involved in graduate thesis work supported in varying degrees by Exploration and Geological Services Division. Other papers represent work of geologists with the Division involved in conducting economic geology investigations in Yukon, and geologists from mining companies and other government agencies. In addition, two contributions were funded by the Canada-Yukon Economic Development Agreement (EDA).
