Geochemistry and Petrography of the Strata Hosting the Flambeau Cu-Zn-Au Deposit : Revisiting Wisconsin's Only Past-Producing Volcanogenic Massive Sulfide Mine
(2015-04)
The purpose of this study was to revisit the Flambeau deposit and describe the geology, geochemistry, and petrography of the strata hosting the deposit.
Petrographic Analysis of the Flambeau Sulfide Ore Body
(2017-03-02)
This project is designed to examine the mineralogy, texture, and composition of the ore body and to determine the base and precious metal phases that are present in the primary ore zone.
Petrography, Geochemistry, and Geochronology of the Green Mountain Shield Volcano, Oregon
(2015-04)
Green Mountain (GM) is a small (~25km) shield volcano located in central Oregon. The ~740,000 year old shield, and associated young (~13,000 ya; Mackey et al., 2014) lava fields, are approximately ~50 km southeast of the ...
Potential for Komatiite-Hosted Nickel-Copper Mineralization in the Eastern Part of the Shebandowan Greenstone Belt, Ontario, Canada
(2018-01-02)
Our research focuses on geochemical and textural evidence of interactions between Archean komatiites and silicic sedimentary rocks near Thunder Bay, Ontario, and exploring the potential for Nickel-Copper-Platinum Group ...
Geologic Mapping and Petrologic Modeling of the Green Mountain Shield Volcano, Oregon
(2017-03-01)
The Green Mountain Shield Volcano (GM)–dated at 740,000 Ka–is located in Eastern Oregon at the intersection of the Oregon High Lava Plains Province and the northernmost Basin and Range Province. In a preliminary study, ...
2.7 Billion Year Old Mt. St. Helens of Northern Minnesota : Petrography and Geochemistry of the Neoarchean Gafvert Lake Sequence
(2014-04)
The Gafvert Lake sequence comprises part of the Vermilion District in the Wawa-Abitibi Terrane in northeastern Minnesota and is located in Minnesota's newest state park, Lake Vermilion State Park. The Neoachean Gafvert ...
Geochemistry and petrography of the volcanic strata hosting the Flambeau Cu-Zn-Au Deposit in Rusk County, WI : A Re-Examination of Wisconsin's Only Past-Producing Volcanogenic Massive Sulfide Mine
(2017-02-16)
This project aims to understand the stratigraphy, geochemistry, petrography, and alteration of the poorly understood Cu-Zn-Au Flambeau volcanogenic massive sulfide deposit. The Flambeau deposit is hosted by the Wisconsin ...
Mineralogy and Geochemistry of Garnet Rhyolites, Black Hills, South Dakota
(2017-11-09)
This study is looking at the mineralogy of the garnet bearing rhyolites to determine the origin of the garnets and other associated minerals. Thin sections are being examined using SEM/EDS. Initial results suggest the ...
Metamorphic Petrography and Geochemistry of a Garnetiferous Gneiss in the Tobacco Root Mountains, Southwestern Montana
(2018-05)
Both our sample and the Australian garnet gneiss are made primarily of banded iron/manganese garnets, quartz, with lesser magnetite, and trace monzite, ilmenite, grunerite, and biotite. Our sample, the Australian gneiss, ...
Komatiite-Hosted Nickel-Copper Mineralization Potential in the Eastern Shebandowan Greenstone Belt, Ontario, Canada
(2018-05)
Our research focuses on geochemical and textural evidence of interactions between Archean komatiites and silicic sedimentary rocks near Thunder Bay, Ontario, and exploring the potential for Nickel-Copper-Platinum Group ...
