Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide Exploration Vectoring Using Interflow Argillite Horizons: Combining Data at Multiple Scales in the Kidd–Munro Assemblage (original) (raw)

This research focuses on the exploration of volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits by examining interflow argillite horizons within the Kidd–Munro assemblage of the southern Neoarchean Abitibi greenstone belt in Canada. The paper discusses the significance of sulphidic and metalliferous sediment horizons linked to ancient hydrothermal systems and their implications for understanding the distribution of trace metal enrichments in modern ocean sediments. By integrating multi-scale data, the study offers insights into the geological and metal accumulation processes in ancient VMS deposits, providing a framework for targeting similar deposits in untested areas.
