Geology and Mineral Occurrences of the Quesnel Terrane between the Mesilinka River and Wrede Creek (NTS 94D/8, 9), North-Central British Columbia

چکیده
The Johanson Lake project is a two-year bedrock mapping program initiated by the Geological Survey and Development Branch in 2003 as part of the Toodoggone Targeted Geoscience Initiative (TGI). The project is focused on a belt of Mesozoic arc volcanic and plutonic rocks of the Quesnel Terrane in the eastern part of the McConnell Creek (94D) map sheet. This area contains a number of MINFILE occurrences and numerous RGS sample sites that returned anomalously high values of gold and copper. The aim of the project is to improve the quality and detail of bedrock maps for the area and determine the setting and controls of mineral occurrences.

متن کاملGeology and Mineral Occurrences of the Upper Iskut River Area: Tracking the Eskay Rift through Northern British Columbia
The Eskay Creek gold-silver mine, located in northwest British Columbia, is the highest-grade precious-metal volcanogenic massive sulphide deposit in the world. The mining industry continues to spend more than $2 million each year on exploration for similar deposits in the area. The geologic setting at the minesite is well studied, but large tracts in north-central British Columbia require more...
متن کاملTracking the Eskay Rift through Northern British Columbia - Geology and Mineral Occurrences of the Upper Iskut River Area
The Eskay Creek gold-silver mine, located in northwest British Columbia, is an unusually high-grade ore deposit. The mining industry continues to spend more than $2 million each year on exploration for similar deposits in the area. The geologic setting at the minesite is well studied, but large tracts in north-central British Columbia require more detailed surveys to determine if favourable sit...
متن کاملGEOLOGY AND U-Pb GEOCHRONOLOGY OF INTRUSIVE ROCKS ASSOCIATED WITH MINERALIZATION IN THE NORTHERN TAHTSA LAKE DISTRICT, WEST-CENTRAL BRITISH COLUMBIA
The Bulkley Suite of intrusions are spatially associated with numerous important mineral occurrences in westcentral British Columbia. Previous K-Ar dating studies indicated that the Bulkley Suite ranges in age from 70 to 84 Ma (Carter, 1981). The purpose of this study is to better constrain the timing of Bulkley Suite magmatism and associated mineralization in the northern Tahtsa Lake District....
