Mapping hydrothermal footprints : case studies from the Meliadine Gold District, Nunavut / [by] C.J.M. Lawley ... [et al.].: M183-2/7744E-PDF

The Targeted Geoscience Initiative (TGI-4) is a collaborative federal geoscience program that provides industry with the next generation of geoscience knowledge and innovative techniques to better detect buried mineral deposits, thereby reducing some of the risks of exploration. This presentation was given at the 42nd Yellowknife Geoscience Forum (November 25 to 27 2014) and summarizes one aspect of the TGI-4 research project at the Meliadine Gold District. Hydrothermal footprints are key tools for vectoring towards undiscovered ore deposits in the subsurface. However, they are difficult to map. In this contribution, we explore the advantages of hydrothermal footprint mapping following a probabilistic approach and delineate fuzzy footprints at six gold deposits within the Meliadine Gold District.
