Tungsten skarn potential of the Yukon-Tanana Uplands, Eastern Alaska, USA—A mineral resource assessment
This project aims to qualitatively and quantitatively assess the potential for undiscovered tungsten (W) skarn mineral resources in the Yukon-Tanana Uplands, Eastern Alaska.Abstract
This project aims to qualitatively and quantitatively assess the potential for undiscovered tungsten (W) skarn mineral resources in the Yukon-Tanana Uplands, Eastern Alaska. Tungsten is used in a variety of industrial and technological applications and has been identified by the U.S. Government as a critical mineral for the United States. The Uplands have been a source of W skarn production in the past, and remain prospective for additional resources of this critical commodity. This project is part of a broader effort by the USGS to asses potential for W skarn deposits across the United States.
