Abstract: EBA Engineering Consultants Ltd. (EBA) is presently managing a Yukon geothermal exploration program for Yukon Energy Corporation (YEC). The Swift River Region was identified by the project team as an area that includes favourable geology units that should be evaluated for geothermal potential. Recent volcanics, from late Tertiary to Quaternary time, occur throughout a large area of north-central British Columbia and across the border into the Yukon. Lava flows, basalt plateaus, cinder fields and cinder cones from this volcanism cover vast areas south of the study area, with Mt. Edziza (2787 m asl) in the Stikine Plateau being the most notable and also the Level Mountain Range west of Dease Lake and northwest of the Stikine River.
