Diagenetic Controls on Hydrothermal Fluid Flow in the Osiris, Isis, and Isis East Carlin-Type Gold Showings, Nadaleen Trend, Yukon
DownloadFall 2015
Following ATAC Resources Ltd.’s 2010 discovery of the gold prospects in the Nadaleen Trend (Central Yukon), company geologists and consultants determined that Precambrian carbonate rocks within the trend contain large endowments of gold located in the hinges of anticlines and fault zones. ...

Petrophysical properties of bitumen from the Upper Devonian Grosmont reservoir, Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2009
The Upper Devonian Grosmont reservoir in Alberta, Canada, is the single largest carbonate bitumen reservoir in the world, with an estimated 400 billion barrels of bitumen in place. The Grosmont bitumen formed from light crude oil via extensive biodegradation, which produced extremely high in-situ...

Effects of salinity on the leaching of ionic species from the Duvernay Formation, a Canadian hydraulic fracturing play
DownloadSpring 2021
Hydraulic fracturing combined with horizontal drilling has revolutionized the oil and gas industry in North America. The majority of Canada’s hydraulic fracturing operations are in Alberta and British Columbia, with the Montney and Duvernay formations ranked highest in five hydraulically...

U-Pb geochronology and REE geochemistry of the pulsed Cretaceous magmatism in High Arctic Canada: implications for lithospheric evolution and magma genesis
DownloadFall 2016
Cretaceous magmatism in the Sverdrup Basin of Arctic Canada consists of alkalic and tholeiitic phases that are widely considered to be part of the circum-Arctic High Arctic large igneous province (HALIP). The emplacement of large igneous provinces is commonly attributed to mantle plumes. However,...

Freshwater microbialites from Laguna Bacalar, Quintana Roo, Mexico: effects controlling their growth
DownloadFall 2014
Microbialites are among the oldest direct evidence of life on Earth. They reached their greatest abundance and diversity during the Proterozoic and decline thereafter. The decline has been attributed to grazing and/or burrowing by metazoan, to changes in ocean chemistry leading to a drop in...

Metamorphic devolatilization, mineral reaction, and fluid alteration in the Mica Creek area (British Columbia, Canada) inferred from whole-rock and mineral nitrogen isotope signatures
DownloadSpring 2019
The Neoproterozoic Horsethief Creek Group metasedimentary rocks in the Mica Creek area (British Columbia, Canada) are an important supracrustal sequence in the Canadian Cordillera. They contain a continuous range of metamorphic grades from slate, progressively to schists in the biotite, garnet,...

Geochronology, Isotope Geochemistry, and Molybdenum Distribution in the Central African Copperbelt: Examples from Chibuluma West, Kamoa, and Kipushi
DownloadSpring 2019
The Chibuluma West, Kamoa, and Kipushi stratiform deposits of the Central African Copperbelt have been evaluated using a series of geochemical techniques to better constrain the timing and origin of these deposits, with relevance to the origin of the Copperbelt as a whole. Petrographic, isotopic...

Geochemistry, Geochronology, and Fluid Inclusion Study of the Newton Epithermal Gold, and Morrison Porphyry Copper Deposits, British Columbia
DownloadFall 2015
Petrologic, geochemical, geochronological, and fluid inclusion studies were conducted on the Newton epithermal and Morrison porphyry deposits in central British Columbia, as a part of a large collaborative research project to combine geological, ZTEM, magnetotelluric, and magnetic studies, in...

Stratigraphy, petrography and geochemistry of the Bad Heart Formation, Northwestern Alberta
DownloadSpring 2011
Bad Heart Formation oolitic ironstone is the largest resources of iron in western Canada. During this study, 45 new sections from outcrop, trench and drill holes were mapped, and 325 samples were collected for petrographic and geochemical analysis. The objective of the first paper is to refine...

Fall 2009
Recent discoveries of kimberlites in North America have revealed that different processes are involved in the generation of kimberlite magma. A multi-disciplinary approach combining mineralogical, petrological, geochemical, and geochronological methods is used to classify the kimberlites,...
