Abstract: The study area provides a clear record of the Proterozoic geological evolution of northern and central Yukon Territory. The area lies in the Wernecke Mountains of east-central Yukon, approximately 150 km north-northeast of the town of Mayo, and 20 km west of the Yukon-Northwest Territories border. The rocks record events of sedimentation, magmatism and deformation ranging in age from Early Proterozoic to Tertiary. Rocks of Early Proterozoic age predominate, but strata of Middle Proterozoic, Late Proterozoic, and Early Paleozoic ages are also abundant.
