| Résumé | (disponible en anglais seulement)
The 2704-2695 Ma Blake River Group forms part of the Abitibi Subprovince of the Superior Province. The submarine volcanic rocks of this group are host to a
number of volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits, including several world-class deposits. Nineteen new high precision U-Pb ages contribute to a high level of understanding of the time evolution of the Blake River Group and demonstrate that VMS
deposits formed throughout the protracted volcanic evolution of the entire group. Important mineralizing events in the Blake River Group occur on the order of 2 m.y. and appear to be related to major magmatic episodes. The Blake River Group is host
to the two largest Archean Au-rich VMS deposits (Horne and LaRonde Penna) and the large Bouchard- Hebert/Mobrun VMS deposit. These large deposits were formed during three distinct time periods (2702 Ma Horne-Quemont, 2698-2697 Ma LaRonde-Bousquet,
and 2696 Ma Bouchard- Hebert/Mobrun). Age constraints on the timing of various mineralizing events contribute to better understanding the geometry of the Blake River Group and its geologic and metallogenic evolution. Recognizing the specific
time-stratigraphic intervals favourable for mineralization and the associated geological settings are important aspects of future exploration models for these polymetallic deposits in the Blake River Group. |
