| Abstract | (unpublished)
The Muskox mafic-ultramafic intrusion is part of the Mackenzie Large Igneous Province (LIP) that shows significant potential for hosting Nickel-Copper ore. However, no economic
deposit has been found so far. In this presentation, we report the results of mineralogical and geochemical studies of the top 30 metres of core in the Muskox East Diamond drill hole archived at the Geological Survey of Canada's (GSC) Earth Materials
Collection Facility. We propose an innovative approach that combines photographic and compositional datasets along the entire length of the drill core. This detailed investigation of the upper border zone of the Muskox intrusion contributes to
ongoing exploration efforts for Ni-Cu-PGE mineralization in this worldclass economic target. |
