Preliminary assessment of the marine mineral potential of the Bonavista/Funk Park study area, northeastern Newfoundland / M. Emory-Moore.M183-2/3435E-PDF

"This report provides a preliminary overview of the marine mineral potential of the Bonavista/Funk Island study area. A compilation of relevant geologic data was used in combination with known controls on marine mineral formation for assessment purposes. The commodities reviewed included placer minerals (gold, platinum, zircon, garnet, monazite, rutile, ilmenite, magnetite, chromite, wolframite and diamonds), industrial minerals and hydrocarbons. The focus of study for non-fuel mineral resources was limited to water depths of less than 100 m, which except for diamonds, is currently deemed the economic limit of most marine mining operations. This study embodies a Phase I Mineral and Energy Assessment (MERA) and in as much is based solely on literature review and application of relevant mineral deposit models. No new data have been collected or analysed"--Introduction, page 1.
