Chedabucto Fault Zone Copper Cobalt IOCG District

Since the Proterozoic, massive amounts of heated fluids have been pumped across the Chedabucto Fault Zone with widespread alteration and metals. At the Lansdowne, New Lairg and surrounding project area, there is a drop and covering of carboniferous sediments of the Mabou group, a transitional basin setting. These sediments still show strong alteration present across the project area, 30 km overlying a regional low resolution gravity low, a potential underlying magmatic source (the stove top) while breccias with historical high grade copper is the steam from the pot, mined by hand was consistent and ongoing even then. The continued evidence from thermal vectoring even in surrounded being coal basins, abundance of salt source for IOCG systems, numerous fault and conduit potential, traps, widespread alteration and dissemination, lack of historical systematics exploration, geophysics and cover preventing traditional prospecting, makes this a prime location for a Tier 1, hidden and overlooked copper cobalt IOCG district. #criticalminerals #copper #cobalt #rareearths
