Stratigraphy, hydrothermal, and tectonomagmatic environment of the Kudz Ze Kayah volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposits, Yukon

火山成因的块状硫化物(VMS)矿床是金属的重要来源，加拿大从这些矿床向加拿大和全球市场提供了重要的锌、铅、铜、金和银。该项目将重点了解育空地区Kudz Ze Kayah VMS矿床的容矿岩石和矿石。这些矿床代表着北方重要的未开发资源，研究将集中于利用岩石、岩石结构和类型的野外关系，结合岩石化学、矿物化学和各种同位素来破译这些矿床的形成，并创造可用于在育空地区乃至全球寻找类似矿床的野外、化学和矿物学工具。除了提供基础科学和应用科学，该项目还将支持两名博士生和一些理科学生，他们将接受现场和实验室方法方面的培训，并得到大学、政府和行业合作伙伴的指导，以便在培训结束时，他们将拥有能够直接为加拿大采矿和矿产勘探行业做出贡献的技能。

Volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposits are critical sources of metals with Canada contributing signficant zinc, lead, copper, gold, and silver to the Canadian and global market from these deposits. This project will focus on understanding the host rocks and ores in the Kudz Ze Kayah VMS deposits, Yukon Territory. These deposits represent significant undeveloped northern resources and the research will focus on utilizing field relationships from rocks, their textures, and types, coupled with rock chemistry, mineral chemistry, and various isotopes to decipher how the deposits formed and to create field, chemical, and mineralogical tools that can be utilized to find similar deposits in the Yukon, but also globally. In addition to providing fundamental and applied science, the project will support two PhD students and a number of BSc students, who will be trained in field and laboratory methods, and mentored by university, government, and industry partners such that at the end of their training they will have skills that can directly contribute to the Canadian mining and mineral exploration industry.
