Abstract: The definition of regionally extensive stratigraphy in deformed and metamorphosed rocks of the Yukon-Tanana Terrane in the Finlayson Lake district allows the recognition of at least three mineralized horizons. They are:: a Lower horizon in chlorite schist of unit 2 close to the contact with overlying carbonaceous phyllite of unit 3; a Middle horizon in felsic meta-volcanic rocks of unit 3; and an Upper horizon in pillowed mafic volcanic rocks of the Campbell Range belt. The lower horizon hosts the Fyre Lake deposit. The Kudz Ze Kayah deposit and probably the deposits near Wolverine Lake are in the Middle horizon. The Upper horizon hosts the Money deposit.
