2010
The MRNF publishes the results of an airborne magnetometric survey (total field and vertical gradient) flown east of Senneterre, straddling the Grenville and Superior provinces (DP 2010-04).
ACCESS TO PROPERTY
From Senneterre along N-806 forestry road for 110 km (Figure 1). Then north to access the property.
The Senneterre – La Tuque, CN railroad cuts the central portion of the property near Langlade, 900 m south of the Langlade deposit.
GEOLOGICAL SETTING
The property is located in the Grenville geological Province wich covers the eastern extensions of the geological province of the Abitibi structures. Grenville gneisses are interpreted as metamorphic equivalents of the rocks of the Abitibi ; paragneiss are sediments, orthogneiss are granitoids and amphibolites are volcanic rocks.
The rocks have a banding or a well-developed foliation. The banding roughly follows the direction N060°-N240° typical of the area wich is parallel to the Grenville Front. The foliation is generally associated with a streching lineation plunging with a moderate angle varying between N090° to N120° directions.
The rocks attained at least upper amphibolite facies in a high pressure and temperature environment (7-10 kbars and 650-800°C). This metamorphism is characterized by biotite-orthoclase-kyanite, biotite-sillimanite-garnet and hornblende-clinopyroxene-garnet parageneses.
The hydrothermal alteration zones are identified by the presence of garnet, graphite and sulphides.
