Tweedale, Fergus M. (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2019)

The objective of this research is to further develop and assess the evaporate mound analysis protocol as an exploration tool, and apply the methodology to a batholith–wide survey of secondary quartz–hosted fluid inclusions ...
Classification and origin of vein-related Cu-Ag-Pb-Zn mineralization at Salkeld Lake, Nonacho Basin, Northwest Territories, Canada

Terekhova, Anna (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2021)

The Paleoproterozoic Nonacho Basin, Northwest Territories, Canada, contains a variety of poorly characterized mineral deposits, including hydrothermal Cu-Ag-(Pb-Zn) mineralization with one of the most representative ...
Constraints on the formation of mineralization and volatile activity in the layered mafic-ultramafic Caribou Lake Gabbro, Northwest Territories, Canada

Neyedley, Kevin John (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2016)

The Caribou Lake Gabbro, NT, Canada is a small layered mafic-ultramafic intrusion hosting minor Ni-Cu-PGE sulphide mineralization. Sulphide mineralization is described in detail and directly compared to early magmatic ...
Fluid inclusion, stable and radiogenic isotope, and geochronological investigation of the polymetallic “five-element” vein deposit at the Eldorado Mine, Port Radium, Northwest Territories, Canada

Trottier, Corwin (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2019)

Uranium-rich, polymetallic “five-element” (Ni-Co-As-Bi-Ag) veins at the Eldorado Mine were investigated using complementary microanalytical techniques with the goal to improve understanding of the origins of ...
Halogen geochemistry of footwall breccia and associated units of the main mass of the Sudbury Igneous Complex, Ontario

Stewart, Robert Craig (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2011)

The potential for the halogen elements (F, Cl, Br, I) to be used as geochemical indicators for contact-style Ni-Cu-PGE mineralization along the lower contact of the Sudbury Igneous Complex (SIC) has been investigated. ...
A melt inclusion study of rhyolitic volcanics in the Bousquet Formation, Doyon-Bousquet-LaRonde district, Abitibi Subprovince, Québec : insight into Archean magmatic processes

Meagher, Daniel Joseph (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2020)

Silicate melt inclusions (SMI) from 2697 – 2699 Ma Bousquet rhyolites (Doyon-Bousquet-LaRonde district, Québec) were characterized to elucidate magmatic contributions to VMS deposit tenor in the region. The key results ...
A melt inclusion study of the Sudbury Igneous Complex (Ontario, Canada) : evidence for two-liquid immiscibility and constraints on trace element distribution

Watts, Kathleen Margot (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2014)

The Sudbury Igneous Complex (SIC), Ontario, Canada, is the product of a massive bolide impact and has been studied extensively due to its rich endowment of magmatic sulfide (Ni-Cu-platinum-group element) ore deposits. In ...
A mineralogical and fluid inclusion study of modified, contact-style Ni-Cu-PGE ores in the #1 and #4 shear zones, Garson Mine, Sudbury, Ontario, Canada

LeFort, Darren Thomas (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2012)

The Garson deposit is a structurally and hydrothermally modified contact-style nickel-copper-platinum-group element ('PGE') magmatic sulphide deposit, located in the South Range of the Sudbury Igneous Complex, Ontario, ...

Boucher, Brandon Michael (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2015)

The Sudbury mining camp hosts the largest and only known impact-related metallogenic system in the world, containing significant resources of Cu-Ni-platinum group element-rich sulfide mineralization. The undeveloped, ...
Mineralogical, fluid inclusion, and stable isotope constraints on the origin of footwall-style "high sulfide" and "low sulfide" Cu-Ni-PGE mineralization at the Coleman Mine, Sudbury Igneous Complex (SIC), Sudbury, Ontario, Canada

MacMillan, Matthew Angus (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2014)

The Sudbury Igneous Complex, Ontario, Canada, is associated with polymetallic ore bodies that have achieved world-class status due to their high concentrations of nickel, copper, and platinum group elements. Relatively ...
