Robertson (GSC 204955 B-l). The diameter of the lake is about 3.4km and the view is towards the east-southeast. As outlined in a paper by J.C. Roddick in this publication, the age of the structure has been determined to be less than one million years old. This is the youngest impact structure known in Canada. CONTENTS R.R.

MONTANA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY, and TINTINA MONTANA INC.; Defendants. INTRODUCTION 1. Plaintiffs Montana Trout Unlimited, Montana Environmental Information Center, Trout Unlimited, Earthworks, and American Rivers (collectively, “Plaintiffs”) challenge the Montana Department of Environmental Quality’s (“DEQ”) approval of Tintina Montana Inc.’s (“Tintina”) permit application for the Black Butte Copper Mine, a major copper mining project proposed in the Smith River watershed of west-central Montana. The Smith River is one of Montana’s premier recreational rivers due to its spectacular natural beauty and abundant wild trout populations. 2. Tintina’s proposed mine would excavate about 440 tons of concentrated copper ore every day in the Smith River watershed. Over the life of the project, these mining activities would generate an estimated 12.9 million tons of tailings and nearly one million tons of waste rock and pollute waters within the Smith River watershed with metals and acid-generating minerals that are harmful or lethal to aquatic life. 3. DEQ is the agency charged with permitting mining activity under the Metal Mine Reclamation Act (“MMRA”), MCA § 82-4-301 et seq., and evaluating the environmental impacts of proposed mining activities under the Montana Environmental Policy Act (“MEPA”), MCA § 75-1-101 et seq.

  • Majors Creek Quarterly Notes
    Quarterly Notes Geological Survey of New South Wales August 2014 No 141 New geochronological and isotopic constraints on granitoid-related gold mineralisation near Majors Creek, New South Wales Abstract Previous workers have variously interpreted the style of gold mineralisation in the Majors Creek area, southeastern New South Wales, as epithermal or granitoid-related. The epithermal model implies that the mineralising event occurred during the opening of the Eden–Comerong–Yalwal rift zone, several million years after assembly of the host Braidwood Granodiorite. We present new 40Ar/39Ar dating of white micas intimately associated with gold-bearing sulfides. These analyses give an age of 410.9 ± 2.0 Ma (2σ) for the gold-bearing greisen at Dargues Reef and 410.8 ± 1.8 Ma (2σ) for vein-style gold mineralisation at the Great Star mine (Majors Creek). These ages lie within the error of previous U–Pb SHRIMP ages for the Braidwood Granodiorite, which strongly suggests that a single hydrothermal mineralising event occurred in the Majors Creek district. Sulfur isotope data supports the interpretation that open-system 34S–32S fluid–mineral fractionation occurred during the mineralising event at Dargues Reef. By contrast, the data for base metal bearing veins at Majors Creek indicates that closed-system 34S–32S fluid–mineral fractionation was predominant. A genetic model is proposed for mineralisation in the Majors Creek district. The mineralogy, intrusive relationships and physiography at Dargues Reef and other key vein systems in the area suggest that magmatic-dominated hydrothermal fluids exsolved from late-stage felsic phases of the Braidwood Granodiorite. These mineralising fluids were then focused into fractures and along pre-mineralisation mafic- to intermediate dykes, which may also have been the focus of post-mineralisation intrusive phases.
