Potential radiogenic heat production from granitoid plutons in Yukon

This map presents results for calculations of the potential for granitoid plutons to produce radiogenic heat. The calculations are performed using U, Th, and K concentrations from whole rock geochemical data compiled from various sources in the Yukon Geological Survey lithogeochemical database. The objective of this exercise was to identify plutons with anomalously high potential for radiogenic heat production to use as a targeting tool for geothermal resource exploration.
