Lithogeochemistry and Hydrothermal Alteration at the Halfmile Lake South Deep Zone, a Volcanic-Hosted Massive Sulfide Deposit, Bathurst Mining Camp, New Brunswick
Abstract:The Halfmile Lake South Deep zone, Bathurst Mining Camp, New Brunswick, was discovered by Noranda Inc. (Exploration) as a result of a 3-D seismic survey in 1998 and the subsequent drilling of ten diamond-drill cores. The deposit consists of massive, breccia, and stockwork Pb-Zn-Cu sulfide minerals, and is hosted by a volcano-sedimentary sequence belonging to the overturned Ordovician Tetagouche Group. Epiclastic rocks and interbedded fine-grained felsic pyroclastic rocks dominate the stratigraphic footwall. Lo… Show more
