Mineral Chemistries of the Tower Mountain Au Prospect, Ontario
(2018-04)
Hydrothermal fluid systems driven by magmatic activity are some of the most important ore forming processes for many
metallic minerals. This project involves characterization of hydrothermal alteration associated with the ...
Lateral Stratigraphic Variations in the Volcanic Lithofacies of the Eisenbrey Zn-Cu-Pb VMS Deposit, Rusk County WI
(2018-04-12)
The primary objective of this project is to complete a property-scale assessment of the volcanic and hydrothermal stratigraphy hosting the poorly understood Zn-Pb-Cu mineralization of the Eisenbrey deposit. The deposit is ...
Potential for Komatiite-Hosted Nickel-Copper Mineralization in the Eastern Part of the Shebandowan Greenstone Belt, Ontario, Canada
(2018-01-02)
Our research focuses on geochemical and textural evidence of interactions between Archean komatiites and silicic sedimentary rocks near Thunder Bay, Ontario, and exploring the potential for Nickel-Copper-Platinum Group ...
Comparison of Hydrothermal Alteration Zones Associated with the Flambeau and Eisenbrey Massive Sulfide Deposits, Rusk County, WI
(2018-03-06)
The Flambeau and Eisenbrey Cu-Zn-Pb-Au-Ag deposits are hosted within the Pembine-Wausau terrane of the Penokean Orogen, which is a 1.8-1.9 billion year old volcanic arc sequence consisting of volcanic and sedimentary rocks, ...
Ore Petrography and Composition Comparison of the Flambeau and Eisenbrey Massive Sulfide Deposits
(2018-01-09)
Volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposits are polymetallic mineral deposits that contain many base and precious metals such as copper, zinc, lead, gold, and silver. This study focuses on two Paleoproterozoic VMS deposits ...
Reconstructing Paleoproterozoic Volcanism in Northwestern Wisconsin : Geochemistry of the Flambeau Cu-Zn-Au Mine
(2018-05)
The Flambeau Cu-Zn deposit in northwestern Wisconsin, USA, is one of several volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposits in the state but remains the only one that has been mined because of unfavorable state mining ...
Metamorphic Petrography and Geochemistry of a Garnetiferous Gneiss in the Tobacco Root Mountains, Southwestern Montana
(2018-05)
Both our sample and the Australian garnet gneiss are made primarily of banded iron/manganese garnets, quartz, with lesser magnetite, and trace monzite, ilmenite, grunerite, and biotite. Our sample, the Australian gneiss, ...
Komatiite-Hosted Nickel-Copper Mineralization Potential in the Eastern Shebandowan Greenstone Belt, Ontario, Canada
(2018-05)
Our research focuses on geochemical and textural evidence of interactions between Archean komatiites and silicic sedimentary rocks near Thunder Bay, Ontario, and exploring the potential for Nickel-Copper-Platinum Group ...
Compilation of Historic Mineral Exploration Data Pertaining to the “Lost” Crandon Cu-Zn Deposit, Forest County, WI : Rediscovering Wisconsin’s Largest and Most Controversial Massive Sulfide Deposit
(2018-03-28)
The Crandon massive sulfide deposit in Forest County, Wisconsin, is by far the largest polymetallic ore body in the Penokean Orogen. First discovered in 1976 by the Exxon Minerals Co., the company was eager to exploit the ...
Three-Dimensional Modeling and Reconstruction of the Crandon Volcanogenic Massive Sulfide Deposit, Northeastern Wisconsin
(2018-05)
The goal of this research project is to determine the petrogenesis of the stratigraphy hosting the Crandon Cu-Zn volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposit. Research material (core, documents, etc.), conducted by Exxon ...
