Baseline study of sediments of East, Fault, Finlayson, Geona and South Creeks (Kudz Ze Kayah project), Yukon / by D. Davidge and R. Snider.: En40-240-1/96-02E-PDF
"In August of 1995, staff from the Yukon Division of Environmental Protection conducted a baseline study of sediments in the Finlayson Creek area south of Ross River, Yukon. The study was conducted in response to Cominco Ltd.’s proposed mine development in the area at their Kudz ze Kayah mining property on Geona Creek, tributary of Finlayson Creek. Sediment samples were collected from fourteen sites within the proposed development area. High levels of arsenic, cadmium, lead and zinc were reported along the upper reaches of Geona Creek, in Geona Creek near the ore deposit and in Fault Creek. The metals concentrations in stream sediments from the lower reaches of Geona Creek were relatively low. East Creek, a tributary to Finlayson Creek downstream of the Geona Creek confluence, had high concentrations of arsenic and zinc indicating the possibility of other small sources of metals in the area"--Abstract, page i.
