Accessory phase perspectives for ore-forming processes and magmatic sulphide exploration in the Labrador Trough, northern Qubec, Canada

| Summary: | The compositions of resistant indicator minerals are diagnostic of their original host environment. They may be used to fingerprint different types of mineral deposit as well as vector towards them. We have characterised the composition of apatite and Fe-Ti oxides in variably-mineralised mafic-ultramafic rock units of the Montagnais Sill Complex in the Labrador Trough to assess their suitability for vectoring magmatic sulphide occurrences. Two broad types of apatite were identified: (i) fluoro- to hydroxy-apatite (Cl/[Cl+F] The accepted manuscript in pdf format is listed with the files at the bottom of this page.
