Last Seen Heading South: Extensions of the Yukon-tanana Terrane into Northern British Columbia
نویسنده
چکیده
Kudz Ze Kayah (KZK) and Wolverine are volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits hosted by Early Mississippian meta-rhyolites, marine metasedimentary rocks and intermediate to mafc metatuffs of the Yukon Tanana Terrane in the Simpson Range, southern Yukon (Figure I). This project aims to pinpoint, within central northern B.C., stratigraphy favorable to the formation of Early Mississippian volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits similar to Kudz Ze Kayah and Wolverine, and also Dewno-Mississippian sedex environments ,in basinal stratigraphy west of the Cassiar batholith.

This report describes a new mapping project in the Cassiar Mountains, located 70 kilometres northeast of Dease Lake in northern British Columbia. The area is attractive for two reasons. First, it contains rocks that are likely correlative with those of the Yukon-Tanana Terrane, a tract with known volcanogenic massive sulphide potential. Second, combined geological and regional geochemical data ...

The goal of this project is to trace out, within central northern B.C., stratigraphy favorable to the formation of Early Mississippian volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits similar to Kudz Ze Kayah, Wolverine, and Fyre Lake, which are hosted by the Yukon-Tanana Terrane in the Finlayson Lake belt of central Yukon. Begun in 1997, the project has focussed on two areas, the eastern Dorsey Terrane ...

The Eagle Bay assemblage in south central British Columbia contains numerous polymetallic massive sulphide deposits, mainly within highly deformed and metamorphosed Devonian felsic volcanic rocks. A number of these, including Rea and Homestake, have had limited past production, and others have undergone extensive exploration and development. Less known and understood are the sediment-hosted mas...
