Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) are huge volume, short duration volcanic/intrusive events that occur every 20-30 million years and rival plate tectonics in importance. LIPs have become an important research focus because they help reveal the configuration of ancient (Pre-Pangea) supercontinents, provide insights into volcanism on other planets, caused dramatic climate change including mass extinctions throughout Earth history, and are growing in importance as a tool for finding new ore and also oil/gas deposits.This new LIP project promises our Industry Partners a dramatic expansion of the LIPs record with application to resource exploration for a wide range of commodity types: from igneous hosted Ni-Cu-PGE districts, gold hosted orogenic belts and sedimentary basins that host uranium, base metals, gold and petroleum. This new 2018-2022 LIPs Project builds on our 2010-2015 and 2016-2017 Industry-supported projects, and comprises 5 themes: paleomagnetism, geochemistry, U-Pb geochronology, geospatial data consolidation and data processing and LIP architecture.This research will benefit Canadian companies because resource exploration is a global effort, and targeting insights developed in any region using the LIP record can have wide applicability elsewhere, including within Canada. Also, in ancient supercontinents the distribution of crustal regions was much different than at present.So an important prospecting tool is to trace important ore deposits into other crustal blocks that were formerly adjacent. Canada hosts many of the largest crustal blocks, and so many ore deposit bearing belts can potentially be traced into Canada from formerly adjacent regions.

大火成岩省（lip）是每2000 - 3000万年发生一次的体积巨大、持续时间短的火山/侵入事件，其重要性与板块构造相匹敌。lip已经成为一个重要的研究焦点，因为它们有助于揭示古代（前盘古大陆）超级大陆的构造，为其他行星上的火山活动提供见解，导致了地球历史上剧烈的气候变化，包括大规模灭绝，并且作为寻找新矿石和石油/天然气矿床的工具越来越重要。这个新的LIP项目向我们的行业合作伙伴承诺了LIP记录的大幅扩展，应用于广泛的商品类型的资源勘探：从火成岩含镍-铜- pge区，含金造山带和含铀，贱金属，金和石油的沉积盆地。这个新的2018-2022年LIPs项目建立在我们2010-2015年和2016-2017年行业支持的项目基础上，包括5个主题：古地磁、地球化学、U-Pb地质年代学、地理空间数据整合和数据处理以及LIP架构。这项研究将使加拿大公司受益，因为资源勘探是一项全球性的工作，使用LIP记录在任何地区开发的目标见解都可以广泛适用于其他地方，包括加拿大境内。此外，古代超大陆的地壳区域分布也与现在大不相同。因此，一个重要的找矿工具是将重要的矿床追踪到以前相邻的其他地壳块体中。加拿大拥有许多最大的地壳块体，因此许多含矿带可以从以前邻近的地区追踪到加拿大。
