Preliminary stratigraphy and geochronology of the Hazelton Group, Kitsault River area, Stikine terrane, northwest British Columbia. In: Geological Fieldwork 2019, British Columbia Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources, British Columbia Geological Survey Paper 2020-01, pp. 101-118. Abstract The Kitsault River area, at the southern end of the Iskut-Stewart mineral belt of northwestern Stikinia, hosts porphyry Cu-Au, porphyry- related gold, and precious metal-rich VMS deposits in Hazelton Group volcano-sedimentary rocks. Based on new mapping northwest and east of Kinskuch Lake, we further resolve stratigraphic relationships in the lower part of the Hazelton Group and recognize three new facies and two new sub-facies. Facies 1 and 3 consist of lapilli tuff to tuff breccia with hornblende-plagioclase-phyric clasts and minor interbedded epiclastic rocks. Facies 2 consists of predominantly epiclastic rocks. Facies 3 is further subdivided into sub-facies 3a, a distinctive unit of K-feldspar- and plagioclase-phyric fl ows and lapilli tuffs to tuff breccia and sub-facies 3b, a mixed volcano-sedimentary unit with local features indicating subaerial deposition. New U-Pb zircon data provide age constraints to the Hazelton Group in the area, including a maximum depositional age from detrital zircons (U-Pb, LA-ICPMS) of ca.

Department of The University of British Columbia 1956 Main Mall Vancouver, Canada V6T 1Y3 •6 (3/81) ABSTRACT A geochemical study of the composition of natural sediments and contaminating mine tailings in Hastings and Alice Arms has been carried out. Apart from the geochemical investigation on the solid fraction, pore waters from six sediment cores have been analyzed to evaluate the diagenetic processes in the sediments of these two inlets. Differences in the mineralogy as well as in the chemical composition of the sediments were used to distinguish the natural sediments from contaminated sediments and pure tailings. In Alice Arm, two types of tailings could be differentiated with these methods. The first tailings type originated from the Kitsault Mo-deposit, which was mined in the past two decades by the B.C.
