New insights on the geological and structural settings of the Musselwhite banded iron-formation-hosted gold deposit, North Caribou greenstone belt, Superior Province, Ontario / W. Oswald … [et al.]. : M44-2015/3E-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. The Musselwhite mine is a world-class gold deposit hosted by polydeformed metamorphosed banded iron formation (BIF) located in the Archean North Caribou greenstone belt, northwestern Superior Province. Detailed mapping and structural analysis of key stripped outcrops in the mine area and underground workings have been undertaken to better understand the geometry and structural controls of the deposit and its host rocks. Two large outcrops have been mapped in detail. Observations suggest the presence of an early map-scale fold that influenced the distribution and geometry of the BIF units hosting the bulk of gold mineralization"--Provided by publisher.
