| Abstract | (Summary)
Samples from the copper-molybdenum deposit of Brenda Mines Limited were studied mineralogically using, in some instances, the reflecting ore microscope for identification and, in
others, the electron-microprobe for identification by quantitative analyses. The assemblage of ore minerals and their textural relationships are relatively simple. Chalcopyrite and molybdenite are the two ore minerals of major interest and both occur
interstitially within quartz-filled fractures'. Pyrite occurs sporadically within the quartz veins and as disseminations in the country rock. Chalcopyrite appears to be of more than one age as shown by its textural relationship to pyrite. The
remaining ore minerals are present in relatively minor amounts. |
