Many deeply buried deposits show geochemical anomalies in surface
media, but it has been in debate how elements can be transported from deposits
to the surface. We studied mobility of elements in forest rings which form
around discharge of reduced gases, such as methane and H2S, and evaluated
how elements move in redox gradients.
The Athabasca area produces over 17% of the world supply. Uranium deposits
are classified as “unconformity-related” because they occur along the
unconformity between the crystalline basement and the overlying sandstone.
Uraniferous fluids are considered to have passed through the unconformity and
precipitated uranium after interacting with graphitic shale along or near the
unconformity. Recent discoveries of deep deposits along shear deformation zones
suggest that uranium deposits can occur far from graphitic bodies and the
unconformity. This expands the possibility of finding more concealed deposits
in the interior of the Athabasca basin. In September,
2011, we initiated a project to find fertile structures and detecting concealed
deposits, with a grant from Natural Resources of Canada through Targeted
Geoscience Initiative.
Geochemical Detection
of Buried Diamond Deposits
Canada commenced mining of rough diamond only in 1998,
but is already the world's third largest producer after Botswana and
Russia. The geology of Canada is ideal for hosting diamond deposits because
diamond forms in deep mantle underlying stable shields.
Geophysical methods are commonly used to discover
buried rocks, but some diamondiferous kimberlites do not give distinct
geophysical signatures. Furthermore, ultramafic and
mafic rocks that are not related to diamond commonly produce geophysical
signals similar to kimberlites. We propose to supplement geophysical and
geological methods by developing geochemical tools to identify kimberlites. The
combination of techniques will be more cost-effective than drilling geophysical
targets alone.
In the summer of 2006, we started to
examine geochemical signatures of kimberlites in the region around the Victor
deposit, 90 km west of coastal community of Attawapiskat, Ontario in the James
Bay Lowlands. The area is being developed by De Beers for mine
operation. So far, 19 kimberlites have been identified and of these 17 are
diamond-bearing. The diamondiferous kimberlites are overlain by 10 to 100 m
thicknesses of peaty sediments and clay-rich tills. Thus, the area provides an
excellent site to examine the surface expressions of concealed kimberlites.

Dispersion of

mineralization after the list related to the surface dispersion of PGE
Ontario is the major producer of palladium in Canada.
Its traditional ore is Sudbury-type Ni-sulphide ore, but a new type of deposits
has emerged, disseminated in sulphide-poor mafic intrusions. There are numerous
mafic-ultramafic igneous rocks with a potential for hosting this new type of
deposit, but many conventional methods of exploration are not readily
applicable. Palladium-bearing ore does not provide visual clues with low
sulphide contents.
With
the generous financial support from Industry and the Ontario Mineral Exploration
Technologies program, we examined the dispersion of PGE from known deposits. click
