Geologic study of the East Bay trend, Red Lake, Ontario

黄金（Au）是货币政策的基础，在世界经济中发挥着重要作用。此外，Au是一种备受追捧的高科技金属，约占工业需求的12%（黄金的独特性质使其在医疗应用，污染控制，笔记本电脑，太空旅行等方面非常有用）。红湖绿岩带是加拿大主要的Au产区之一，13个金矿的黄金总产量超过1900万盎司。在红湖地区，Au勘探历来集中在沿着东西向的变形岩石走廊（矿山走向），这些岩石是大多数矿山的所在地。然而，最近沿东湾走向（东北-西南走廊）的勘探沿着取得了令人兴奋的成果，并有望包含重要的Au矿。因此，拟议研究的目标是：（1）绘制东湾趋势中Au化的结构图，并将其结构特征与沿着矿趋势的其他研究充分的红湖矿床（例如，红湖，坎贝尔矿），（2）比较的地质年代学和地球化学的矿化带沿着东湾趋势与矿床沿着矿趋势。这些资料将有助于我们了解地壳中的流体运移和Au的运移和来源。

Gold (Au) provides the basis for monetary policies and thus, plays an important factor in world economics. In addition, Au is a highly sought after high-tech metal with ~12% of the demand from industry (Gold's unique properties make it useful in medical applications, pollution control, laptop computers, space travel, etc). The Red Lake greenstone belt is one of Canada's chief Au producing regions, with a total gold production of over 19 million ounces from 13 mines. In the Red Lake district, Au exploration has historically focused along an E-W corridor (mine-trend) of variably deformed rocks that hosts most of the mines. Recent exploration along the East Bay trend, NE-SW corridor, however, has yielded exciting results and promises to contain important Au mines. Consequently, the goals of the proposed research are to: (1) map the structures that host Au mineralization in the East Bay trend and compare the structural characteristics with the other well-studied Red Lake deposits along the mine-trend (e.g., Red Lake, Campbell Mine), and (2) compare the geochronology and geochemistry of the mineralized zones along the East Bay trend with the deposits along the mine-trend. These data will allow us to understand fluid migration in the crust and the migration and source of Au.
