Lithogeochemistry of material transfer processes important to Canadian resource industries
FY 2012-13
Summary
Hydrothermal alteration and weathering involve reactions between rocks, and hot and cold waters, respectively. These reactions are responsible for creating many mineral deposits which society exploits for their raw, mostly metallic, resources. The purpose of the proposed research is to develop new ways of investigating the chemical reactions responsible for the formation of mineral deposits, and to apply these techniques to rocks that have undergone these chemical reactions, in order to understand how these reactions have occurred. This will provide an important knowledge foundation that will allow geoscientists to improve mineral exploration success and facilitate mining efforts.
