Grant: Targeted Geoscience Initiative
THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO
$77,800.00
The geology and geochemistry of stratabound high grade V, Ni, Mo, Cu, and PGE mineralization, in Yukon, NWT, and BC
FY 2021-22 · 2021-09-14
Summary
This project will focus on understanding the formation of eight critical metal rich highly metalliferous shales in Yukon, British Columbia, and Northwest Territories by investigating how these similar deposits with different metal enrichments formed at or near the same time and producing a regional formation model for highly metalliferous shales that can be used to guide future research for these critical element rich deposits.

Program Name (French)
Initiative géoscientifique ciblée
Program Purpose
Targeted Geoscience Initiative will continue to address significant public geoscience gaps by expanding the industry toolkit for exploration, with further innovative geoscience tools, exploration models and new techniques to more efficiently and effectively detect the presence of buried mineral deposits that will provide better returns on private sector investments.
Program Purpose (French)
L'Initiative géoscientifique ciblée continuera à combler des lacunes importantes liées aux connaissances géoscientifiques publiques en enrichissant la boîte à outils de l'industrie pour l'exploration avec de nouveaux outils de géosciences novateurs, des modèles et des nouvelles techniques d'exploration pour détecter de façon plus efficace et efficiente la présence de gîtes minéraux enfouis qui fourniront un meilleur rendement des investissements du secteur privé.

Description (French)
Ce projet s'applique sur l'étude de la formation de schistes argileux hautement enrichis en métaux critiques à huit différents endroits au Yukon, Territoires du Nord-Ouest et Colombie Britannique, en se concentrant sur la détermination de l'âge de leur déposition et sur les facteurs qui ont influencé la concentration relative de chacun de ces métaux critiques. Les résultats permettront de mieux guider l'exploration minière.
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.
Expected Results (French)
Les connaissances géoscientifiques publiques de l'IGC et les nouvelles méthodologies pertinentes à la découverte de nouvelles ressources minérales canadiennes sont mises à la disposition de l'industrie et d'autres groupes d'intervenants.
Additional Information
