Investigation of the relationship between Laonil Lake and Eisler intrusive complexes at the Seabee Gold Operation

位于萨斯喀彻温省北部的Seabee金矿已经连续运营了27年，生产了超过150万盎司的黄金。该基地由历史上生产的Seabee矿综合体和目前生产的Santoy矿综合体组成，位于东部15公里处，通过全天候道路连接。由SSR矿业公司拥有和经营，该业务雇佣了大约329人，其中许多是北方居民。SSR矿业公司已经坚定地承诺在该地区和该带的其他地方进行勘探，目的是将矿山的寿命延长到21世纪20年代末及以后。****该项目将调查Eisler侵入复合体的年龄和地球化学，该侵入复合体位于Santoy矿复合体以南约8公里处，可能与拥有Seabee矿复合体的Laonil湖侵入复合体类似。对这两个侵入复合体的地质调查将测试它们是否有遗传关系，因为它们被更年轻的侵入岩隔开。该研究将为进一步了解老尼尔湖和艾斯勒侵入杂岩的地质特征和背景提供依据。这将为该地区的金矿化提供一个更强大的矿床模型，并通过为勘探目标提供新的地质向量，从而降低公司的风险。这项研究的结果将增加在现有矿山基础设施附近发现新的经济上可行的金矿的可能性，延长Seabee金矿作业的矿山寿命

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.**
