Labrador Trough 2012 VMS model: 77 highly prospective zones identified

As a result of modeling of the Labrador Trough’s volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) potential, 77 zones highly prospective for pelitic-mafic associated (Besshi type) VMS mineralization were generated. These zones are available in Google Earth and GESTIM, where the image of the potential is also available (e-SIGEOM (Geology) theme). The document detailing the processing used will be published in spring 2012 (EP 2012-01).

1. Methodology available in document EP 2010-01

2. For each downloaded item, an image in Google Earth format shows the levelled distribution of the element in lake sediments in Québec. This type of image is a regional reflection of the surrounding rock type. In some cases, the higher concentration of an element could indicate the presence of a deposit. Users of Google Earth Version 6 who experience display problems should choose DirectX in 3D View preferences (Preferences-> 3D View), and use Safe Mode.
