The Seabee Gold Operation in northern Saskatchewan has been in continuous operation for 27 years producing more than 1.5M ounces of gold. The site consists of the historically producing Seabee Mine Complex as well as the currently producing Santoy Mine Complex located 15 km to the east connected via all-weather road. Owned and operated by SSR Mining Inc., the operation employs approximately 329 people, many of whom are northern residents. SSR Mining has made a strong commitment to exploration on the property and elsewhere in the belt with the aim of extending the mine life well into the late 2020s and beyond.****The project will investigate the age and geochemistry of the Eisler intrusive complex, which occurs approximately 8 km south of the Santoy Mine Complex, which may be an analogue to the Laonil lake intrusive complex that hosts the Seabee Mine Complex. Geological investigations of the two intrusive complexes will test whether they are genetically related as they are separated by younger intrusive rocks. The research proposed will provide increased knowledge of the geological characteristics and setting of the Laonil Lake and Eisler intrusive complexes. This will lead to a more robust ore deposit model for gold mineralization in the area and in turn decrease the risk to the company by providing new geological vectors for exploration targeting. The outcomes of this research will enhance the possibility of finding a new economically viable gold deposit in the vicinity of existing mine infrastructure extending the life of mine for the Seabee Gold Operation.**

萨斯喀彻温省北方的Seabee黄金业务已经连续运营了27年，生产了超过150万盎司的黄金。该矿场由历史上生产的Seabee矿场综合体和目前生产的Santoy矿场综合体组成，位于东面15公里处，通过全天候道路连接。由SSR矿业公司拥有和经营，该行动雇用了大约329人，其中许多是北方居民。SSR Mining已对该矿区和矿带其他地方的勘探做出了坚定的承诺，目的是将矿山寿命延长到本世纪20年代末及以后。该项目将调查位于Santoy矿区以南约8公里处的Laonil湖侵入杂岩的年龄和地球化学，该杂岩可能与Seabee矿区所在的Laonil湖侵入杂岩类似。对这两个侵入杂岩的地质调查将测试它们是否在成因上相关，因为它们被较年轻的侵入岩分开。拟议的研究将提供更多的知识的地质特征和设置的Laonil湖和Alzheimer侵入复合体。这将为该地区的金矿化提供更可靠的矿石存款模型，并通过为勘探目标提供新的地质载体来降低公司的风险。这项研究的成果将提高在现有矿山基础设施附近找到新的经济上可行的金矿存款的可能性，延长Seabee金矿运营的矿山寿命。
