Mineral Deposits of Canada
The Mineral Deposits of Canada short course is based on the popular volume
of 44 papers recently published by the Mineral Deposits Division of the
Geological Association of Canada and the Geological Survey of Canada. The
short course will have a global perspective but a Canadian focus, and will
cover five major headings, including:
1. Part I will provide an overview of the economic value of mineral
resources in Canada;
2. Part II will provide a current synthesis of economically important
deposit-types in Canada that include VMS, SEDEX, MVT, several types of lode
gold, magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE, unconformity uranium, and kimberlite diamond
deposits;
3. Part III will describes the metallogeny of economically important
Canadian mining camps;
4. Part IV will provide the geological evolution and metallogeny of
geological provinces in Canada;
5. and Part V will cover geochemical exploration methods applied to
specific types of Canadian mineral deposits.
The Mineral Deposits of Canada volume will be used as the notes for the
short course providing colour maps and sections, genetic models, images and
photographs of representative rocks, ores and minerals. In addition, 4
high-capacity DVDs accompany the volume and contain an ore photo library,
ArcGIS databases of major mineral deposits in Canada and the world, PDFs of
all papers in the volume, digital files of all diagrams, tables and
appendices, and Endnote databases of all papers referred to by volume
papers. Additional course material will be made available to the course
participants.
