Research Interests

My PhD project is researching the hydrothermal and metamorphic mineral assembalges that surround the Red Lake Gold Mines, North Western Ontario. The Archean Red Lake Gold Mines (40mt at 20g/t, Bouzari et al., 2009) is a lode-gold deposit hosted in Mesoarchean komatiite basalt and submarine tholeiitie (Sanborn-Barrie et al., 2001).

The principle objectives of the research are to:

  • Synthesize the previous work, and the known geological framework of the deposits (e.g., stratigraphy, structure, mineralogy, and multiple alteration assemblages),
  • Document the various manifestations of the alteration minerals, specifically the mineral chemistry, mineral assemblages and isotopic geochemistry, as they vary laterally along two cross sections through the Red Lake deposits,
  • Separate broadly syn-mineral alteration from prior events and assess the mineralogical expression of any metamorphic overprint,
  • Construct a fluid evolution model of the hydrothermal events, examine the primary fluid pathways from the distal and proximal alteration, and define how the barren alteration (km-wide system) evolves to deposit extraordinary amounts of gold, and
  • Use the data to identify pathfinder minerals to ore (a mineral vector), that can be combined with an alteration and/or mineral chemistry map to aid exploration by pointing to areas of potential gold mineralization.
