gold in newfoundland...appalachian and pre-appalachian tectonic evolution of the newfoundland...
TRANSCRIPT
The Island of Newfoundland represents an emerging, underexplored gold district, where focused exploration for precious metals was essentially non-existent prior to the early 1980's. Gold has been mined from epithermal (gold-copper) and orogenic (gold-only) deposits, and as a by-product in several volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) operations. Production from orogenic and VMS deposits is continuing, and a number of new advanced projects are targeting similar deposit styles. Ongoing exploration is also directed at both high- and low-sulphidation epithermal deposits. Recent option- and joint-venture-agreements, coupled with new claim-staking, indicate renewed interest in these underexplored terranes.

Widespread magmatism and deformation characterized the
Appalachian and pre-Appalachian tectonic evolution of the
Newfoundland segment of the orogen. At several discrete
intervals, magmatism was accompanied by the formation of
large-scale gold-bearing hydrothermal alteration systems at
di�erent crustal levels. These systems host gold orebodies in
both Late Proterozoic and Paleozoic rocks, and in many
instances, are associated with major crustal structures.
Several of the styles and settings of gold mineralization are
analogous, at varying levels of detail, with world-class
deposits in ancient deformed terranes and in
Mesozoic-Cenozoic belts. These include epithermal,
orogenic, sediment-hosted and intrusion-related deposit
types. This unique geological setting creates an excellent
opportunity for new mineral discoveries in an
underexplored, readily accessible mineral district.
The Island of Newfoundland, situated off the Atlantic coast of mainland Canada, is part of the larger Appalachian-Caledonian orogenic belt. Its geology records the development and destruction of an ancient proto-Atlantic Ocean, a cycle that culminated in the mid-Paleozoic collision of pre-Appalachian crustal blocks of mid- to late Proterozoic age and contrasting tectonic origin. Vestiges of this ancient ocean are extensively preserved in the central part of the island, within the Dunnage Zone. This medial region is bounded by contrasting Proterozoic to early Paleozoic elements of the opposing continental margins: Gander and Avalon zones to the east and Humber Zone to the west.

The Island of Newfoundland represents an emerging, underexplored gold district, where focused exploration for precious metals was essentially non-existent prior to the early 1980's. Gold has been mined from epithermal (gold-copper) and orogenic (gold-only) deposits, and as a by-product in several volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) operations. Production from orogenic and VMS deposits is continuing, and a number of new advanced projects are targeting similar deposit styles. Ongoing exploration is also directed at both high- and low-sulphidation epithermal deposits. Recent option- and joint-venture-agreements, coupled with new claim-staking, indicate renewed interest in these underexplored terranes.
