Résumé du livre
The purpose of the symposium was to highlight the geology of Appalachian stratabound massive sulphide deposits, and to emphasize the exploration potential of the Bathurst-Newcastle area. This guide was prepared for field excursions in the area held in conjunction with the base metals symposium. The guide reviews the tectonic setting of the massive sulphide deposit in the northeastern Appalachians; the volcanic stratigraphy of the northern Miramichi Highlands; and the present genetic models applicable to the Bathurst-Newcastle sulphide deposits. The final sections outline the exploration history, geology, and mining techniques used in developing deposits in the region.
