Title:

Origin and Exploration Significance of the Five-Element Vein (Co-Ni-As-Ag-Bi) Ore Fluid

Agreement Number:

GC-130027S

Agreement Value:

$100,000.00

Agreement Date:

Nov 23, 2021 - Mar 31, 2023

Description:

The objective of this project is to quantify the physicochemical characteristics of the five-element (Co-Ni-As-Ag-Bi±U) vein systems in a Canadian context using state-of-the-art methods (i.e., in situ micro-scale analysis) to assess where metals originate, what conditions and settings favour their transport, and what controls metal precipitation and ore-deposit formation.

Organization:

Natural Resources Canada

Expected Results:

TGI public geoscience knowledge and new methodologies relevant to the discovery of new Canadian mineral resources is made available and industry and other stakeholder groups.
