METALLOGENY OF VOLCANIC ARCS
Co-ordinator: D.V. Lefebure
Short Course sponsored by the B.C. Geological Survey and the B.C. and Yukon Chamber of Mines at Pathways '98 meeting in Vancouver, in January 1998.
Open File 1998-8 consists of over 500 pages of notes from the course which consisted of 17 presentations by speakers from government, universities and the private sector. The notes include information concerning the tectonic and structural features of arc deposits, geoenvironmental mineral deposit models, epithermal deposits and their transitions to porphyry settings, porphyry copper and gold deposits, gemstones, unconventional metallic deposits, industrial minerals, skarns and volcanogenic massive sulphides. The following are abstracts of those presentations.
