| Summary | (Plain Language Summary, not published)
The Soisson Suite includes a series of Mesoproterozoic, km-scale, gabbroic intrusions within the Core Zone. These intrusions occur mainly west and
north-west of the Saffray lake (Soisson North intrusions) and in the Soisson and Papavoine lakes area (Soisson South intrusions), where one of them, the Papavoine intrusion, was recently dated at 1311 Ma. The Soisson North and South intrusions show
similar textures and have chemical and mineralogical compositions that generally follow the same evolution trends. These similarities suggest that all the Soisson intrusions are cogenetic and prospective to host Ni-Cu-PGE mineralization, given the
significant presence of Fe-Ni-Cu sulfides in the Papavoine intrusion. The results also indicate that the Soisson intrusions share textural and chemical similarities with the Voisey's Bay intrusion from the Nain plutonic Suite. The Soisson Suite is
slightly younger than the Voisey's Bay intrusion, but contemporary to the younger intrusions of the Nain plutonic Suite, suggesting a possible genetic link between both suites. |
