Archean gold deposits are the most important source of gold in Canada. While mining of gold deposits in the Abitibi subprovince is well underway, the neighbouring Wawa subprovince is relatively underexplored, but this region has a similar potential for hosting world-class gold deposits. The paucity of regional gold mineralization models that can be used to target exploration drilling has hindered exploration in the Wawa subprovince. The Michipicoten greenstone belt in the Wawa subprovince represents a natural laboratory to use existing gold deposits to develop regional models of gold deposits that can be applied across this subprovince and to orogenic gold deposits worldwide.

太古宙金矿床是加拿大最重要的黄金来源。虽然阿比提比省的金矿正在顺利开采，但邻近的瓦瓦省的勘探相对较少，但该地区也有类似的潜力，可以拥有世界级的金矿。可用于找矿钻探的区域金矿化模式缺乏，阻碍了洼洼副省的找矿工作。Wawa副省Michipicoten绿岩带是利用现有金矿开发区域金矿模型的天然实验室，该模型可应用于整个Wawa副省和世界范围内的造山带金矿。
