Abstract
An Occurrence of Chalcopyrite, Liard River, N.W.T.
ABSTRACT
Chalcopyrite, pyrite and quartz mineralization carrying minor amounts of chromium, nickel and silver has been discovered in a fracture zone located 20 mi east of the Mackenzie mountains along the Liard River in the Northwest Territories. The fracture zone is in miogeosynclinal shale and siltstone of the Simpson Formation of Upper Devonian age. A number of dikes, possibly igneous in origin, are associated with the fracture zone at the locality. The occurrence of chalcopyrite in this particular geologic setting is new for western Canada. Also, the discovery has served to focus attention on the possibility of economic accumulations of base metals in this part of the western Canadian Sedimentary Basin.
