On the basis of REE patterns, the xenoliths are divided into three groups reflecting varying degrees of mantle metasomatism: (1) Group 1; concave-up LREE patterns; (2) Group 2; flat to moderately LREE-enriched patterns; and (3) Group 3; strongly LREE-enriched patterns. The majority of xenolith are enriched in LILE, LREE, U, Th, Pb, and Sr, and depleted in HFSE and HREE. These geochemical characteristics are consistent with a sub-arc mantle source. The Tasse lavas are compositionally alkaline basalts and display OIB-like trace element patterns. They have positive εNd (+3.8 to +5.5) values, with 338−426 Ma depleted mantle model ages, and display OIB-like Nd, Sr and Pb isotopic compositions. The Sr−Nd−Pb isotope and trace element characteristics suggesting that they originated from an upwelling asthenospheric mantle source. v This thesis is dedicated to my parents, Martin and Eva, and my brother, Tal, for all of their love, encouragement and support through this journey. This thesis is also in loving memory of my best friend Andrew Avetikov. You will forever be in my memories and in my heart.

Introduction The Interior Plateau region of British Columbia is con- sidered to have high exploration potential as it hosts a variety of deposit types including Late Cretaceous and Eocene epithermal Au and Ag deposits (e.g., Blackwa- ter, Capoose and Wolf) and porphyry Cu and Mo depos- its (e.g., Endako and Chu) ranging in age from Late Ju- rassic to Eocene. Exploration activity has historically been hindered by a limited understanding of the charac- ter and distribution of prospective units owing to the masking effects of overlying Eocene and Neogene ba- salt flows and extensive glacial till cover. The Targeting Resources through Exploration and Knowledge (TREK) project is a Geoscience BC initiative to inte- grate geophysical, geological and geochemical data in order to improve our geological understanding and, ul- timately, reduce the risk associated with exploration in such a poorly understood region (Clifford and Hart, 2014).

  • Pleistocene Volcanic Fields in the Anahim Volcanic Belt: What, Why, How? - Chilcotin Highland, West-Central British Columbia, Canada
    Geophysical Research Abstracts Vol. 15, EGU2013-7134, 2013 EGU General Assembly 2013 © Author(s) 2013. CC Attribution 3.0 License. Pleistocene Volcanic Fields in the Anahim Volcanic Belt: What, why, how? - Chilcotin Highland, West-Central British Columbia, Canada Christian Kuehn and Bernard Guest Dept. of Geoscience, University of Calgary, Canada ([email protected]) A large number of volcanic features, including stratovolcanoes, cinder cones, domes, flows and erosional remnants of these exist in the eastern part of the Anahim Volcanic Belt (AVB) around Satah Mountain and Baldface Moun- tain. These two fields (abbreviated SMVF and BMVF below) are located south and east of the Itcha Ranges in the Chilcotin Highland of west-central British Columbia. Petrographic, geochemical and geochronological studies are hoped to clarify the volcano-tectonic association of these fields and if/how they relate to the nearby AVB. The studies might also provide corroboration of the hot-spot that has been proposed as the source of magmatism in the area, ranging from mid-Miocene ages in the western part of the AVB to Holocene ages at its eastern end at Nazko Cone. During two field campaigns, 20 centres in the SMVF aligned on a NNW-SSE trending topographic high and seven centres in the BMVF were studied with a focus on geochemistry and ages of the erupted lavas. With the exception of Satah Mountain, the most prominent and best-preserved edifice, individual centres are generally small in elevation (200-300 m) and volume. At almost all edifices, there is evidence for glacial modification, which likely removed most of the once-existing (?) pyroclastic material; water-magma interaction could be observed at one centre as well.
