Blackbird / McFaulds Lake
Canada
Interpretation of regional geophysics can help find a new mining district
|
The McFaulds Lake stratiform Cr-Ni-Cu-PGE deposit is hosted in a layered mafic-ultramafic intrusion. |
|
 |
A regional aeromagnetic survey revealed a linear magnetic high that was not associated with any known deposits. A time-domain electromagnetic survey was flown and anomalies followed up with ground geophysics. Follow up drilling resulted in the discovery of multiple Cr-Ni-Cu-PGE lenses. |
 |
A detailed gravity survey was conducted to explore the flanks of this newly discovered intrusion. |
 |
A 0.5 mGal gravimetric Bouguer anomaly was detected and investigated by drilling. |
