The Sagar Property, Québec, Canada (Energizer Resources Inc.) is located within in the Romanet Horst, a northwest-trending 40 by 12 kilometre uplifted structural block of sediments that is juxtaposed against younger surrounding sediments and igneous rocks within the Labrador Trough. Various workers have discovered gold, uranium, and copper showings. The most spectacular mineralization occurs within the Mistamisk Boulder Field, which is approximately 500 X 250 meters in size and contains many radioactive gold bearing albitized boulders. These boulders average 64.9g/t Au and 1.3% U (with values up to 640 g/t Au and 4.11% U). Despite 60 years of exploration, the deposit types and mineralization of the Romanet Horst are poorly understood. Therefore, the main goals of the proposed research are to characterize the uranium (U) and gold (Au) mineralization on the Sagar property including the Mistamisk Boulder field to develop a genetic model for U-Au mineralization that will provide a framework for gold and uranium mineral exploration by Energizer Resources Inc. (industry partner). HQP including two graduate and two undergraduate students will be immersed in one of the most technologically-advanced scientific environments in Canada and trained to use some of the most advanced techniques available to geologists. These students will benefit greatly from the field expertise of the senior personnel at Energizer Resources Inc. These data will be used to ultimately refine the geochronological, geochemical, and structural models for U-Au mineralization from various mineralized showings. Data interpretation and presentation will include statistical analyses that incorporate both temporal and spatial relations of the mineralogical and geochemical data, identification of key processes that resulted in ore formation, and estimates of the duration of fluid events required to generate uranium ores. These data will allow us to propose a deposit model that can be used to explore for the source of the U and Au on Energizer Resources' property and the Romanet Horst region.

加拿大魁北克省萨加尔物业（Energizer Resources Inc.）位于罗曼内特地垒内，这是一个西北走向的40 × 12公里的隆起沉积物结构块，与拉布拉多海槽内较年轻的周围沉积物和火成岩并列。许多工作人员发现了金、铀和铜的显示。最壮观的矿化发生在Mistamisk Boulder Field，其大小约为500 X 250米，包含许多含放射性金的钠长石化巨石。这些巨砾的平均Au含量为64.9 g/t Au，U含量为1.3%（最高值为640 g/t Au，U含量为4.11%）。 尽管进行了60年的勘探，但对罗马内地垒的存款类型和矿化作用知之甚少。 因此，拟议研究的主要目标是描述包括Mistamisk Boulder油田在内的萨加尔矿区的铀（U）和金（Au）矿化特征，以开发铀-Au矿化的成因模型，为Energizer Resources Inc.的金矿和铀矿勘探提供框架。（行业合作伙伴）。 包括两名研究生和两名本科生在内的HQP将沉浸在加拿大技术最先进的科学环境中，并接受培训，以使用地质学家可用的一些最先进的技术。 这些学生将从劲量资源公司的高级人员的专业知识中受益匪浅。 这些数据将用于最终完善各种矿化显示的铀-金矿化的地质年代学、地球化学和结构模型。 数据解释和列报将包括结合矿物学和地球化学数据的时间和空间关系的统计分析，确定导致成矿的关键过程，以及估计生成铀矿所需的流体事件的持续时间。 这些数据将使我们能够提出一个存款模型，可用于探索能源资源公司的财产和罗马内霍斯特地区的U和Au的来源。
