Glacial dispersal of refractory minerals from the Gibraltar porphyry copper deposit, south central British Columbia, Canada / L. Wolfe, K. Hattori, A. Plouffe.: M41-11/73-2017E-PDF

“The Gibraltar deposit is a large open-pit copper mine in Canada. There is potential to find more mines like Gibraltar in the Canadian Cordillera but the challenge is that similar potentially economic mineral deposits might be covered by loose sediments left by glaciers which can hinder mineral exploration. On the other hand, the composition of specific minerals in these sediments can provide information on the potential of the underlying rocks to host an economic deposit. This study looks at the composition of three minerals (epidote, rutile and zircon) that have some potential to be indicative of mineralization"--Provided by publisher.
