Geology of pyrite-sphalerite-galena concentrations in Proterozoic quartzite at Quartz Lake, southeastern Yukon

The Quartz Lake sedimentary hosted lead-zinc occurrence is 70 km northeast of Watson Lake. Proterozoic rocks of the area are divided into three groups of argillite, quartzite and limestone which are, in stratigraphic succession from oldest to youngest, the Range Group, the Mine Group and the Ridge Group. There are two principal lead-zinc occurrences in rocks of the Mine Group where pyrite, sphalerite and galena occur in tabular bodies, lenses and disseminations in a predominantly quartzite host rock.
