Recent U.S. Geological Survey Studies in the Tintina Gold Province, Alaska, United States, and Yukon, Canada?results of a 5-Year Project

This report presents summary papers of work conducted between 2002 and 2007 under a 5-year project effort funded by the U.S. Geological Survey Mineral Resources Program, formerly entitled "Tintina Metallogenic Province: Integrated Studies on Geologic Framework, Mineral Resources, and Environmental Signatures." As the project progressed, the informal title changed from "Tintina Metallogenic Province" project to "Tintina Gold Province" project, the latter being more closely aligned with the terminology used by the mineral industry. As Goldfarb and others explain in the first chapter of this report, the Tintina Gold Province (TGP) is a convenient term used by the mineral exploration community for a "region of very varied geology, gold deposit types, and resource potential."
