Abstract: Geographic Information Systems (GIS) spatial database of bedrock geology, surficial geology, mineral deposits, paleontology and geochronology for the Yukon Territory. It also contains a portfolio of georeferenced regional aeromagnetic images.

All spatial database files are provided in two projections. The UTM coordinate system (disc 2) is commonly used at detailed scales. Albers equal area projection (disc 1) is provided to allow viewing or querying of larger areas that cross UTM zone boundaries. The datafiles are provided in various formats including an ARC/INFO coverage library, ARC/INFO interchange format (*.e00) and shapefile format (*.shp).
