| Abstract | (Summary)
This report releases whole-rock geochemical and assay results of 20 samples from the upper Rouyn-Pelletier Formation and one sample from the Horne Formation in the Rouyn-Noranda area
of the Abitibi greenstone belt. These samples were collected in 2012 as part of a GSC-supported B.Sc. thesis study (Boudreau, 2013) at the Université Laval, Quebec. The lithogeochemical data is presented in a format easily importable into a
geographic information system (GIS) application. The samples were collected to document the volcanic facies, hydrothermal alteration and the nature of sulphide clast-bearing volcaniclastic units of the uppermost part of the Rouyn-Pelletier Formation.
Sample information and geochemical results are presented in Appendices 1 and 2 (worksheet 'Results'), respectively. The results worksheet is from a data report produced in 2012 and one sample comes from an earlier report in 2010. |
| Summary | (Plain Language Summary, not published)
The targeted Geoscience Initiative (TGI) is a collaborative federal geoscience program that provides the industry with the next generation of geoscience
knowledge and innovative techniques to better detect buried mineral deposits, thereby reducing some of the risks of mineral exploration. As part of TGI, rocks of the upper Rouyn-Pelletier Formation in the Blake River Group in Rouyn-Noranda were
studied through a BSc thesis (Boudreau, 2013) at the Université Laval, Quebec. Through this study, 21 samples were collected and analyzed at ActLabs, to document the volcanic facies, hydrothermal alteration and the nature of sulphide clast-bearing
volcaniclastic units of the uppermost part of the Rouyn-Pelletier Formation. This open file contains the geochemical results and related information associated to these samples. |
