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

火山成因块状硫化物（VMS）矿床是加拿大重要的金属来源，这些矿床为加拿大和全球市场贡献了大量的锌、铅、铜、金和银。该项目将重点了解育空地区Kudz Ze Kayah VMS矿床的主岩和矿石。这些矿床代表了重要的未开发的北方资源，研究将侧重于利用岩石的场关系，它们的纹理和类型，结合岩石化学，矿物化学和各种同位素来破译矿床是如何形成的，并创建可用于在育空地区寻找类似矿床的场，化学和矿物学工具，也可用于全球。除了提供基础和应用科学之外，该项目还将支持两名博士生和一些理学士学生，他们将接受现场和实验室方法的培训，并由大学，政府和行业合作伙伴指导，以便在培训结束时他们将拥有可以直接为加拿大矿业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.
