ii Abstract
The Powderhouse formation of the Paleoproterozoic Snow Lake arc assemblage comprises the stratigraphic footwall to six volcanogenic massive sulfide deposits (VMS) at Snow Lake,
Manitoba, Canada. It is interpreted to be a product of voluminous pyroclastic eruptions and concomitant subsidence followed by a period of relative volcanic quiescence that was dominated by suspension sedimentation, the reworking of these previously deposited pyroclastic units by debris flows and bottom currents, and localized emplacement of rhyolite domes. The rhyolite domes are spatially associated with the Chisel, Chisel North, Lost, Ghost, Photo and Lalor deposits.
The Chisel, Lalor and Lost members comprise the Powderhouse formation and are subdivided into thirteen lithologically and chemically distinct lithofacies and allows, for the first time, correlation between the South Chisel basin and Lalor area. The Chisel and Lalor members contain lithofacies and bedforms that are characteristic of emplacement by subaqueous pyroclastic mass flows and concomitant subsidence. The Chisel member also contains coarse volcaniclastic breccias emplaced by mass debris flows derived from movement along fault scarps after early pyroclastic eruptions, and during continued subsidence. The Lost member consists of lithofacies deposited by mass flows generated from faults scraps during continued subsidence, but also contains lithofacies reworked by bottom currents and those deposited by suspension sedimentation, and locally coherent rhyolite. The Lost member represents a time stratigraphic interval, the “Ore Interval”, that marks contemporaneous rhyolite dome eruption, VMS formation, and a hiatus in explosive volcanism.
iii Co-Authorship Statement
The manuscript resulting from this thesis is co-authored by my two supervisors. The following list outlines the contributions made by the candidate for this MSc:
1. The project was conceived and designed by Drs. Harold Gibson, Bruno Lafrance and
Michelle DeWolfe. All three spent significant amounts of time in the field, reviewing
mapping and core logging results. The candidate helped to re-design the project as data
collection evolved.
2. Field work, including mapping, drill core logging and sample collections was completed
by the candidate with the assistance of M. Kerr, B. Ferguson and L. Behuniak over two
field seasons (June-August, 2013 and 2014). Mapping was done at 1:1000 covering an
area 800 x 800 m (South Chisel) and 850 x 600 m (Lalor) with additional detailed
mapping was completed at 1:50, 1:250, and 1:500. Approximately 3,000 m of core was
graphically logged at 1:500.
3. Two hundred and thirty-one samples were collected by the candidate from outcrop and
core. The samples were cut by Mike Clark at Mount Royal University and thin sections
prepared by Willard Desjardins at Laurentian University. Samples for whole rock
analysis were sent to Ontario Geoscience Laboratories in Sudbury, Ontario for
preparation and analysis. Pulps prepared by Ontario Geoscience Laboratories were then
sent to the Pacific Center for Isotopic and Geochemical Research in Vancouver, British
Columbia for radiogenic isotopic analyses. The candidate completed all petrographic
analyses.
iv 4. All initial interpretations of the data and first drafts of the manuscript and maps were
prepared by the candidate under the supervision of the M. DeWolfe and H. Gibson, who
also provided intellectual input and edits and so are co-authors on the manuscript.

x Chapter 1 – Introduction to the Thesis
1.1 Introduction
VMS deposits are ancient copper-, zinc-, lead-, silver-, and gold-rich mineral deposits that form at or just below the seafloor. They form from seafloor hydrothermal venting along mid-ocean ridges, within island arcs (e.g., Okinawa Trough, Sea of Japan), or in back-arc basins (e.g., Lau Basin,
Pacific Ocean), which are areas of rifting that form behind island arcs. These deposits are commonly hosted by Precambrian volcanic sequences that formed during periods of ocean closure and associated terrane collision.
The Glennie - Flin Flon complex is a tectonic collage of ocean floor, island arc, and plateau assemblages, ranging in age from 1.91-1.84 Ga, that accreted during the Trans-Hudson Orogeny
(Hoffman, 1988; Syme and Bailes, 1993; Stern et al.,1995; Lucas et al.,1996). The majority of
VMS deposits in the Glennie - Flin Flon complex occur within the 1.92-1.87 Ga juvenile Flin Flon and Snow Lake oceanic arc assemblages (Syme and Bailes, 1993; Syme et al., 1996). The Snow
Lake arc assemblage is located at the eastern end of the Glennie – Flin Flon complex, which is dominated by 1.84-1.81 Ga fold-thrust style tectonics that are characterized by southwest verging allochthons of volcanic rocks bounded by thrust-faults, and sedimentary rocks of the Burntwood group (1.84Ga; Zwanzig, 1990, 1999; Connors, 1996; David et al., 1996; Bailes and Schledewitz,
1998; Krause and Willams, 1999).
The Snow Lake arc assemblage is a 20 km wide, >6 km thick, fault bounded allochthon. It is one of the best exposed VMS-hosting sequences in the Glennie – Flin Flon complex and is host to 9 producing and past producing mines (Syme et. al., 1996; Bailes et al., 2016). It is divided into the Anderson, Chisel and Snow Creek sequences, which are interpreted to represent a temporal
1 evolution from primitive arc, to mature arc, to arc rift tectonic environments (Bailes and Galley,
1996, 1999, 2007). Both the Anderson and Chisel sequences host VMS deposits.
The Chisel sequence is dominated by heterolithic volcaniclastic rocks, and mafic, intermediate, and felsic lavas (Bailes and Galley, 2007). The presence of laterally discontinuous facies, voluminous volcaniclastic rocks, and abundant synvolcanic dykes in the Chisel sequence is interpreted to be the product of intra-arc extension and rifting leading to caldera development
(Bailes and Simms, 1994; Bailes and Galley, 2007).
The Powderhouse formation (previously “Powderhouse dacite”) is a voluminous succession of dominantly felsic to heterolithic volcaniclastic rocks that constitutes the stratigraphic footwall to 6 producing/past-producing deposits in the Chisel sequence (Bailes and Galley, 2007).
Bailes and Galley (2007) speculated that the Powderhouse formation is a pyroclastic flow deposit linked with high-level magmatism, intra-arc rifting, and caldera formation. Recent studies by
Bailes (2011, 2012) have aided our understanding of the stratigraphy, geochemistry, and distribution of the Powderhouse formation and suggested that there are two potential VMS ore forming horizons within, one at the base associated with a coarse breccia (hosting the Lost and
Ghost deposits), and one at the top associated with the Chisel rhyolite (hosting the Chisel deposit).
Bailes (2009, 2012) also speculated on the correlation between the Powderhouse formation in the
South Chisel basin area with similar units (i.e. North Chisel dacite and Lalor volcaniclastic dacite) to the north of Chisel Lake. However, despite decades of research in the Snow Lake area there has never been a detailed study focused on the origin, emplacement, and architecture of this voluminous and metallogenically significant unit.

1.3 Purpose and Objectives
The objective of this research is to document the internal stratigraphy and structure of the
Powderhouse formation in order to reconstruct the volcanic environment prior to volcanogenic massive sulfide deposition in the Chisel sequence at Snow Lake, Manitoba. This project was funded through an NSERC Collaborative Research and Development Grant between Laurentian
University, HudBay Minerals Inc., and the Manitoba Geological Survey. Outcrop mapping of the
Powderhouse formation was conducted on the Hudbay Minerals Inc. property at the Chisel mine
3 site and Lalor mine site in the Snow Lake area. Diamond drill core was made available by Hudbay
Minerals Inc. and was logged at the Snow Lake Mill site. The locations of maps and drillhole collars can be found in Fig. 2.
Detailed mapping (1:50, 1:250, 1:500, and 1:1000) and core logging, and geochemical and petrographic analysis of specific samples were completed to achieve the following specific objectives:
1) Establish the internal litho/chemostratigraphy of the Powderhouse formation
2) Through detailed lithofacies analysis determine if the Podwerhouse formation is a primary,
subaqueous pyroclastic deposit
3) Determine the emplacement mechanism(s) of the Powderhouse formation
4) Reconstruct the volcanic environment (including water depth) in which the Powderhouse
formation was erupted
5) Determine if the processes of VMS deposit formation can be linked to concomitant
subsidence, explosive volcanism and high-level magmatism.

Chapter 2 - Volcanic reconstruction of the ore-forming environment of the
Paleoproterozoic Chisel sequence VMS deposits: the Powderhouse formation,
Snow Lake, Manitoba, Canada
2.1 Introduction
The Powderhouse formation (previously “Powderhouse dacite”) is part of the
Paleoproterozoic Snow Lake arc assemblage (SLA), located within the eastern extent of the
Glennie - Flin Flon complex of northern Manitoba. Eighteen volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS)
deposits occur in the SLA (Bailes et al. 2016; Bailes and Galley, 2007). There have been numerous
studies on the tectonic setting, regional stratigraphy and structure, and geochemical and isotopic
variations of the volcanic, plutonic, and sedimentary rocks in the Snow Lake area as well as
stratigraphic and structural controls of VMS mineralization in the SLA (Martin, 1966; Frose and
Moore, 1980; Galley and Bailes, 1989; 2002; Bailes et al. 1991; Stern et al., 1992; 1995; Syme and Bailes, 1993; Galley, 1993; Bailes and Simms, 1994; Bailes and Galley, 1996; 1999; 2007;
Connors, 1996; David et al., 1996; Lucas et al. 1996; Syme et al. 1996; Tessier 1996; 2000; 2001;
Krause and Williams, 1998; 1999; Bailes and Schledewitz, 1998; Connors et al., 1999; Machado et al., 1999; Zwanzig, 1999; Galley, 2003; Bailes, 2008; 2009; 2011; 2012; Bailes et al., 2016,
Cate et al., 2016, Rubingh et al., 2017, Stewart et al., 2018 ). However, the majority of these
studies focus on regional setting and evolution of the Flin Flon – Glennie complex or VMS
mineralization on a deposit scale, and none have focused on the Powderhouse formation, which is
a voluminous succession of dominantly felsic to heterolithic volcaniclastic rocks that constitutes
the stratigraphic footwall to 6 producing/past-producing deposits in the Chisel sequence (Bailes
and Galley, 2007).

Bailes and Galley (2007) speculated that the Powderhouse formation was a pyroclastic
flow deposit linked with high-level magmatism, intra-arc rifting, and caldera formation. Recent studies by Bailes (2011, 2012) have aided our understanding of the stratigraphy, geochemistry, and distribution of the Powderhouse formation and suggested that there are two potential VMS ore forming horizons within, one at the base associated with a coarse breccia (hosting the Lost and
Ghost deposits), and one at the top associated with the Chisel rhyolite (hosting the Chisel deposit).
Bailes (2009, 2012) also speculated on the correlation between the Powderhouse formation in the
South Chisel basin area with similar units (i.e. North Chisel dacite and Lalor volcaniclastic dacite) to the north of Chisel Lake. However, despite decades of research in the Snow Lake area there has never been a detailed study focused on the origin, emplacement, and architecture of this voluminous and metallogenically significant unit. There are still unanswered questions as to what defines the Powderhouse formation, mechanisms of emplacement, and its role in ore-formation.
Accordingly, in this paper we: 1) define the lithofacies, stratigraphy and volcanic facies of the Powderhouse formation as well as their geochemical and isotopic attributes; 2) proposed new stratigraphic subdivision and nomenclature that reflects the volcanic history and petrogenesis of these rocks, and as a result propose the term Powderhouse formation replace “Powderhouse dacite”; and 3) present new information regarding the origin and emplacement mechanisms for this unit, including evidence for concomitant subsidence associated with pyroclastic eruptions, and a reconstruction of the volcanic environment prior to and during VMS ore formation.
2.1.1 Terminology
Volcaniclastic facies in this study are named using the granulometric terms tuff, lapilli tuff, lapillistone, and tuff breccia (Fisher, 1966). Bedding thickness and type is described using terminology from McPhie et al. (1993). The term “juvenile vitric clast” refers to clasts that have
6
an irregular shape and are dominantly composed of phyllosilicate minerals suggesting they were
volcanic glass and have been preferentially altered, they are often flattened and seldom cuspate
shaped. Lithic clasts consist of different volcanic rocks, they are typically angular to subangular
in form and are not typically flattened, but often elongate, defining a stretching lineation.
All rocks of the Powderhouse formation have undergone almandine-amphibolite facies
metamorphism and the original mineralogy has been replaced by variable proportions of quartz,
clino-amphibole, biotite, garnet, and oligoclase. However, primary volcanic textural and structural
features (e.g. hyaloclastite, amygdules, bedding, pillows) are well preserved and the “meta”-prefix
is omitted but is implied for all lithofacies herein.
2.2 Regional Geology
The Glennie - Flin Flon complex is a tectonic collage of ocean floor, island arc, and plateau
assemblages, ranging in age from 1.91-1.84 Ga, that accreted during the Trans-Hudson Orogeny
(Fig. 1; Hoffman, 1988; Syme and Bailes, 1993; Stern et al.,1995; Lucas et al.,1996). A majority
of VMS deposits in the Glennie - Flin Flon complex occur within the 1.92-1.87 Ga juvenile Flin
Flon and Snow Lake oceanic arc assemblages (Syme and Bailes, 1993; Syme et al., 1996). The
SLA assemblage is located at the eastern end of the Glennie – Flin Flon complex, which is
dominated by 1.84-1.81 Ga fold-thrust style tectonics that are characterized by southwest verging
allochthons of volcanic rocks bounded by thrust-faults, and sedimentary rocks of the Burntwood
and Missi groups (1.86- 1.84Ga; Zwanzig, 1990, 1999; Connors, 1996; David et al., 1996; Bailes
and Schledewitz, 1998; Krause and Willams, 1999). This tectonic regime is characterized by F1N-
NW-trending tight isoclinal folds and NW striking faults that pre-date the deposition of the
Burntwood and Missi group sedimentary rocks and may be related to an early intraoceanic
7
accretion or pre-1.86 Ga accretion of the Snow Lake allochton to the Amisk collage (Stewart et
al., 2018). A second deformation event post-dating the deposition of the Burntwood and Missi
group sedimentary rocks is characterized by F2 NW-NNW-trending isoclinal folds and S2 axial
planar cleavage and L2 NE-plunging stretching lineation (Kraus and Williams, 1998; Stewart et
al., 2018). Late granitic plutons (1.84-1.83 Ga) intrude the fold-thrust package that was later deformed by F3 NE-trending open to tight folds and S3 N-toNE- trending steeply E- to SE-dipping axial planar cleavage (Kraus and Williams, 1998; Stewart et al., 2018) and a regional metamorphic episode (1.82-1.81 Ga) that recrystallized the rocks to an almandine-amphibolite-facies mineral assemblage (Froese and Moore, 1980; David et al., 1996).
The SLA (Fig. 2) is a 20 km wide, >6 km thick, fault bounded allochthon. It is one of the best exposed VMS-hosting sequences in the Glennie – Flin Flon complex and is host to 9
producing or past producing mines (Syme et. al., 1996; Bailes et al., 2016). The SLA is divided
into the Anderson, Chisel and Snow Creek sequences, which are interpreted to represent a temporal
evolution from primitive arc, to mature arc, to arc rift tectonic environments (Bailes and Galley,
1996, 1999, 2007). Both the Anderson and Chisel sequences host VMS deposits.
The Chisel sequence is dominated by heterolithic volcaniclastic rocks, and mafic,
intermediate, and felsic lavas (Bailes and Galley, 2007). Mafic lavas of the Chisel sequence have
higher Th/Nb, Th/Yb, La/Yb ratios and lower ƐNd values (0 to +2.7) than mafic flows of the
Anderson sequence, and it has been suggested that Chisel magmas were either derived from a more fertile mantle source, affected by within-plate enrichment, and/or contaminated from older crustal fragments (Stern et al., 1992; Bailes and Galley, 1999). The presence of laterally discontinuous facies, voluminous volcaniclastic rocks, and abundant synvolcanic dykes in the Chisel sequence is
8
interpreted to be the product of intra-arc extension and rifting leading to caldera development
(Bailes and Simms, 1994; Bailes and Galley, 2007).
2.2.1 Previous subdivisions and nomenclature proposed for the Chisel sequence
Volcanic strata of the Chisel sequence have been subdivided into an upper and lower sequence, and further subdivided into informal units by Bailes and Galley (2007). Informal units
of the lower Chisel sequence, from oldest to youngest, include the Stroud felsic breccia, Snell
basalt, Edwards mafic volcaniclastic rocks, and a differentiated suite of volcanic rocks that consist
of the Caboose andesite, Moore basalt, “Powderhouse dacite”, Chisel-Ghost-Photo-Cook rhyolites, and Balloch basalt and basaltic-andesite (Fig. 3; Bailes and Galley, 2007). VMS deposits of the Chisel sequence occur at the contact between the lower and upper Chisel sequences and are associated with rhyolite flow-dome complexes (Chisel-Ghost-Photo-Cook) or are underlain directly by rhyolite-bearing volcaniclastic rocks of the “Powderhouse dacite” (Bailes and Galley,
2007, Stewart et al. 2018). Lithofacies historically referred to as the Threehouse mafic
volcaniclastic rocks and Threehouse mafic flows conformably overly the VMS deposits and/or the
rocks of the lower Chisel sequence in the Chisel basin area (Bailes and Galley, 2007; Stewart et
al. 2018). Threehouse mafic volcaniclastic rocks are a distinct marker unit and are interpreted to
have been deposited in a basin and sourced from an adjacent shallow water to subaerial mafic
volcanic edifice (Bailes and Galley, 2002; 2007; Stewart et al. 2018). Hanging wall strata to the
Lalor VMS deposit consists of North Balloch rhyolite, Balloch basalt, Ghost-Photo rhyolites,
Threehouse mafic volcaniclastic rocks and flows, the North Chisel dacite, and previously undivided heterolithic mafic volcanic breccia and rhyolite and rhyodacite units (Bailes and Galley,
2007; Bailes et al. 2013; Bailes, 2014). This package of rocks was previously interpreted as a younger homoclinal succession; however, a recent detailed structural study by Stewart et al. (2018)
9
has re-interpreted the package as a fold-thurst repetition of lower Chisel sequence, overlain by the
Threehouse mafic volcaniclastic rocks and flows, which now remain the only unit in the upper
Chisel sequence. Intrusive rocks of the lower Chisel sequence include: 1) hornblende-phyric diorite that cross-cuts the Snell basalt and Edwards mafic volcaniclastic rocks, but are not found in the younger volcanic strata, 2) gabbro, diorite and quartz-diorite dykes that are geochemically similar to the Moore basalt, 3) a dacite dike complex that is geochemically similar to the
“Powderhouse dacite”, 4) quartz(-plagioclase) porphyry stocks and dykes which cross cut the dacite dyke complex and are cut by the Richard Lake tonalite, and 5) the Richard intrusive complex which transects the Anderson and Lower Chisel sequences and is geochemically similar to the
Richard tonalite and the ore-hosting Chisel and Ghost rhyolites (Bailes and Galley, 2007).
Intrusive rocks of the Upper Chisel sequence include large irregular bodies of pyroxenite, melagabbro and gabbro that cross cut rocks of the Lower Chisel sequence and are commonly found in the Threehouse formation mafic volcaniclastic rocks, and plagioclase(-pyroxene)-phyric gabbro and diorite intrusions that cross cut rocks of the Lower Chisel sequence as dykes and are typically found as large sill-like bodies in the mafic volcaniclastic rocks of the Threehouse formation (Bailes and Galley, 2007).
2.3 Geology of the South Chisel basin and Lalor areas
The definition and distribution of the “Powderhouse dacite” presented herein is based on detailed bedrock mapping (1:250 to 1:2000) and drill core logging of volcanic lithofacies of the
Powderhouse unit from ~0.5 km north of the Lalor mine to ~1 km south of the Chisel mine, including contacts with the bounding formations. Based on mapping and drill core logging, the first informal stratigraphic subdivision and nomenclature for the Powderhouse unit is proposed
10 that is mappable, clearly defines the internal stratigraphy, reflects the volcanic history and petrogenesis of these rocks, and allows correlation between stratigraphy of the structurally separate
Lalor and Chisel basins. As a result, we propose the “Powderhouse dacite’ be called the
Powderhouse formation, an informal formation, the characteristics of which are detailed below.
2.3.1 Distribution of the Powderhouse formation within the Lalor-Chisel basin
The Powderhouse formation is exposed 500 m north of the Lalor mine (the northernmost point of the study area), to 1 km south of the Chisel mine, and 700 m east of the Ghost mine where it is truncated against the Moore formation (Fig. 2). The Powderhouse formation, and underlying units of the lower Chisel sequence, occupy what has been informally referred to as the Lalor-Chisel basin. Heavily lichen covered outcrop and/or intense, pervasive VMS alteration and overprinting metamorphic assemblages has restricted detailed mapping to two areas, the South Chisel basin area and Lalor area as shown in Fig. 2. The extent and thickness of the Powderhouse formation is difficult to estimate because of intrusions, folding and faulting. The Chisel Lake gabbroic intrusion truncates the western extent of Powderhouse formation in the South Chisel basin area, dilates the
Powderhouse formation to the northeast, and marks the base of the formation west and north of the Lalor mine. Geologic maps for the Powderhouse formation in the South Chisel basin area and
Lalor area, which form the basis for the stratigraphic subdivision and subsequent volcanic reconstruction presented herein are shown in Figs. 4 and 5.
The structural features recognized in the Lalor and South Chisel basin areas are congruent with those identified by Stewart et al. (2018). Map scale features such as faults (D0-1) and tight- isoclinal folds (F1-2) largely control the distribution and thickness of lithofacies observed within the Powderhouse formation. Third generation folds create a fold interference pattern recognized
11
by steepening and shallowing of bedding over tens of meters, and also result in map-scale open
folds about the Threehouse Synform (Fig. 2).
In the Lalor area (Fig. 4) strata strike north, dip east to near vertical (67-88o), and reversals
in facing direction reflect tight north-trending F1 tight isoclinal folds. A steeply dipping N-toNW-
striking S2 foliation and a steeply dipping NNE-striking south dipping S3 foliation defined by the
alignment of amphibole and mica overprint the limbs of the F1 fold axis. Clast elongation defines
o an L2 lineation that trends to the N-NNE with a plunge of 20-30 . The tight isoclinal F1 folds are
interpreted to be parasitic to an anticline to the west and that the overall facing direction of the unit
is to the east.
In the South Chisel basin area (Fig. 5) strata strike NNW to WNW and dip 05–76o to the
north, with facing predominantly to the NE. Tight NNW trending F2 folds and S2 fabric defined by
mineral alignment and clast flattening is overprinted by an S3 crenulation cleavage striking N to
o NE. An L2 lineation, defined by clast elongation, trends NNW and plunges ~30 . The two north- striking faultsin the South Chisel basin area are defined by abrupt truncations and offset of map units of the Chisel member. Lithofacies of the Lost member do not truncate at these faults and are only moderately offset compared to lithofacies of the Chisel member (Fig. 5).
2.3.2 Powderhouse formation
The Powderhouse formation ranges in thickness, from ~40 to 320 m, across the Lalor-
Chisel basin (Fig. 6). However, due to tight folding and a lack of facing indicators within the
predominantly massive facies, coupled with metamorphic overprinting, the apparent thickness of
the unit can be upwards of 650 m. It is thickest in the South Chisel basin area and thins towards
the Ghost mine area to the east and the Lalor area to the NNW. The Powderhouse formation
consists of massive crystal- and crystal-vitric-tuffs and lapilli tuffs that are intercalated with coarse
12
heterolithic breccias. It is divisible into three members, which from oldest to youngest include the
Chisel, Lalor and Lost members, each named after type localities.
The Powderhouse formation conformably overlies Moore basalt breccias and lavas and is conformably overlain by Threehouse mafic volcaniclastic rocks. At most localities the lower contact with Moore basalt breccias is gradational over 1-2 m and defined by the intercalation of
Moore mafic tuff and massive felsic crystal-tuffs of the Chisel member. Elsewhere, the lower contact is sharp or faulted with Moore pillowed basalt flows. Bedded volcaniclastic rocks of the
Lost member conformably overly Moore pillowed basalt in the Ghost area. The upper contact is a gradational transition and is defined by a compositional change from Powderhouse formation felsic volcaniclastic rocks to Threehouse mafic volcaniclastic rocks. The base of the Threehouse formation is placed at the first appearance of juvenile basalt lapilli that are compositional and chemically identical to the Threehouse basalt (i.e. lower abundance of incompatible trace elements compared to the highly fractionated Moore basalt, Powderhouse formation, and Chisel-Ghost rhyolites; Bailes and Galley, 2007; this study).
Lithofacies of the Powderhouse formation are described in detail below and summarized in Table 1, photographs can be found in Fig. 7a-f and 8a-f.
Chisel member
The Chisel member consists of massive crystal- and crystal-vitric tuff and lapilli tuff intercalated with coarse breccias. It is divisible into eight distinct lithofacies, which define an ordered internal stratigraphy and are best exposed in the south Chisel basin (Fig. 5). North-striking faults in the South Chisel basin area are recognized by the abrupt lateral termination of massive crystal-vitric lapilli tuff lithofacies to the west and coarse heterolithic breccia lithofacies to the
13
east. The Chisel member is conformably overlain by stratified felsic heterolithic tuff breccia of the
Lost member. From oldest to youngest, the eight lithofacies are described below.
Lithofacies I: Massive crystal-vitric-rich lapilli tuff
Lithofacies I is located at the base of the Powderhouse formation in the western portion of
the South Chisel basin area. It is 90 m thick, strikes NNW-SSE for 800 m and ends abruptly against a north-striking fault. The contact with the underlying Moore basalt flows and basalt breccia is transitional over 1-2 m and marked by intercalated Moore mafic tuff and massive feldspar crystal-
rich lapilli tuff with juvenile, flattened, vitric lapilli and dacite lapilli of the Powderhouse
formation. The upper contact is gradational over 5-10 m and is defined by the absence of juvenile
vitric-lapilli, a decrease in abundance and size of dacite lapilli and feldspar crystals, and the presence of planar-and graded-bedding as the massive felsic lapilli-tuff fines upwards to a bedded felsic tuff (lithofacies II).
Lithofacies II: Bedded felsic tuff with minor heterolithic blocks
Located in the western portion of the South Chisel basin area, lithofacies II is a thinly bedded (2 – 50 mm) felsic tuff with <5% aphyric dacite lapilli and trace (<1%) blocks of quartz-
feldspar-phyric rhyolite, plagioclase-phyric basalt, and amphibole-garnet altered tuff. Locally this
lithofacies displays normal grading and scour structures (Fig. 7a). It ends abruptly against a north
striking fault, a minimum strike length of 660 m and an estimated true thickness of 20 m. This unit
is conformably overlain by the massive crystal-rich tuff of lithofacies VII, and the contact is sharp,
defined by an increase in feldspar crystals and a change from bedded to massive facies.
Lithofacies III: Coarse felsic breccia
A coarse, clast-supported, felsic breccia with quartz-feldspar-phyric (QFP) rhyolite clasts,
aphyric dacite clasts and a felsic tuff matrix (Fig. 7b) occurs at the base of the Powderhouse
14
formation in the central portion of the South Chisel basin area. It is bounded to the west and east
by north striking faults. It has a strike-length of 300 m and an estimated true thickness of 40 m.
The lower contact of this unit is with a plagioclase-pyroxene-phyric intrusion. The upper contact is with a coarse mafic breccia (lithofacies IV), gradational over 50 – 100 cm and is defined by a
distinct change in color and a decrease in quartz-feldspar-phyric clasts (from 35 to 5%) and the appearance of plagioclase-phyric basalt clasts (~20%) pyroxene-plagioclase phyric basalt clasts
(~15%) and vesicular aphyric basalt (<5%).
Lithofacies IV: Coarse mafic breccia
A coarse, clast-supported, mafic breccia with aphyric, vesicular, amygdaloidal,
plagioclase-phyric basalt, and pyroxene-plagioclase-phyric basalt clasts in a mafic tuff matrix (Fig.
7c), is located in the central portion of the South Chisel basin area. Its east-west extent is
constrained by two north striking faults. This unit occurs in the nose of a NNW-SSE striking F1-2
anticline that has been overprinted by a NE-SW striking F3 syncline. The clasts display a strong S2
flattening and an S3 crenulation fabric. It has a strike-length of 350 m and an estimated true
thickness of 40 m. The upper contact is conformable, sharp and defined by a decrease in clast size
and an abrupt change to the monolithic felsic lapilli tuff of lithofacies V (Fig. 7d).
Lithofacies V: Felsic lapilli tuff with mafic vitric-lapilli
A matrix-supported lapilli-tuff that is less than 5 m thick, and is defined by the presence of
40-45 % mafic vitric-lapilli occurs in the central portion of the South Chisel basin area where its
250 m strike length is constrained by two north striking faults. It is tightly folded about NNW
striking F1-2 folds, and further shortened by open F3 folds. The contacts with the underlying coarse
mafic breccia (lithofacies IV) and the overlying coarse heterolithic breccia (lithofacies VI) are
15
conformable, but sharp, and defined by an abrupt decrease in clast size as well as a change in clast types and population.
Lithofacies VI: Coarse heterolithic breccia (lower)
A coarse, clast-supported, heterolithic breccia, ~40 m thick, containing rhyolite (~20%),
dacite (~50%), and basalt (~30%) block- and lapilli-sized clasts occurs in the central portion of the
South Chisel basin area and its 220 m strike-length is constrained by two north striking faults. It
is tightly folded about a NNW-striking F1-2 fold axis. The lower and upper contacts (with lithofacies V and VII respectively) are sharp and conformable, with the upper contact defined by an abrupt decrease in blocks and lapilli.
Lithofacies VII: Massive crystal-rich tuff and lapilli-tuff with minor blocks
Lithofacies VII comprises massive to bedded felsic tuff with feldspar crystals, minor lithic
dacite lapilli (Fig. 7e), and sparse blocks of basalt, rhyolite, and tuff. This lithofacies also contains
juvenile mafic lapilli with delicate clast margins and cuspate textures (Fig. 7f). It occurs in the
western and central portions of the South Chisel basin area, has a minimum strike length of 800
m, and a thickness of ~80 – 120 m (Fig.5). It terminates against a north striking fault to the east
and the Chisel Lake gabbro to the west (Fig. 2). Lithofacies VII is folded about a NNW striking
F1-2 fold (Fig. 5). The lower contact is conformable and sharp, with the underlying bedded tuff
(lithofacies II) in the west, and the underlying heterolithic breccia (lithofacies VI) in the east. The
upper contact is sharp and conformable with coarse heterolithic breccias (lithofacies VIII), and locally is directly overlain by stratified tuff breccias (lithofacies XIII) of the Lost member.
Lithofacies VIII: Coarse heterolithic breccia (upper)
Lithofacies VIII is a coarse, clast-supported, heterolithic breccia containing rhyolite (~10
%), andesite-dacite (~30 %), and basalt (~25 %) block- to lapilli-size clasts (Fig. 8a). It is
16
characterized by minor (2 – 3 %) quartz-feldspar-phyric rhyolite blocks and 10% feldspar crystals.
It occurs in the central portion of the South Chisel basin area, has a strike-length of 200 m, is 10 –
20 m thick, and is laterally constrained by two north striking faults. Lithofacies VIII is tightly folded about NNW striking F1-2 folds. The lower contact of this unit is conformable and sharp
(with lithofacies VII) and the upper contact, with overlying bedded felsic heterolithic tuff breccia
(lithofacies XIII) of the Lost member, is conformable, sharp and defined by the occurrence of
bedding (1 – 50 cm thick) in the overlying unit.
Lalor member
The distinctive crystal-vitric-lapilli tuff (lithofacies IX) and crystal-tuff (lithofacies X)
lithofacies recognized in the Lalor area are identical to lithofacies I and VII, respectively, in the
South Chisel basin area. However, these lithofacies are better exposed in the Lalor mine area (Fig.
4), occur at different stratigraphic positions, and are therefore described as separate lithofacies.
The coarse breccias of the Chisel member recognized in the south Chisel basin area are notably
absent in the Lalor area where the base of the Powderhouse formation in the Lalor area is intruded
by the Chisel Gabbro (Fig. 2). Repetition of lithofacies in the Lalor area reflects tight, map-scale
isoclinal folding (F1) as shown in Fig. 4. The Lalor member is conformably overlain by stratified,
mafic-dominated heterolithic tuff breccia of the Lost member.
Lithofacies IX: Massive crystal-vitric-rich lapilli tuff
Lithofacies IX constitutes the lowermost unit of the Powderhouse formation in the Lalor
area. It is a massive, feldspar crystal-rich lapilli tuff with 5 – 15% black, elongate, juvenile, vitric
lapilli and lithic dacite lapilli in a tuff matrix containing 25 – 30% feldspar crystals and minor (5%)
garnet. It strikes north, has a minimum strike length of 1 km and a thickness of ~ 90 m and is repeated by F1 folds (Fig. 4). Although not exposed at surface, the lower contact is observed in
17
drill core to be conformable and sharp with altered Moore basalt flows and tuff-breccias. The upper
contact is conformable and gradational (over 1 -5 m) with a bedded, fine-grained crystal-tuff
lithofacies and is defined by the loss of both vitric and lithic lapilli and a decrease in feldspar
crystal size and abundance.
Lithofacies X: Bedded felsic crystal tuff
This light grey, massive, fine-grained felsic tuff with minor feldspar and quartz crystals
strikes north, has a minimum strike length of 1 km, a thickness of 5 – 10 m, and is repeated by a
tight F1 fold (Fig. 4). Its upper contact is conformable and sharp with green-grey, well-bedded,
feldspar crystal-rich lapilli tuff of the Lost member; scour structures in the overlying heterolithic
crystal-rich lapilli tuff extend into felsic tuff of lithofacies X.
Lost Member
The Lost member consists of stratified tuff, lapilli tuff, and tuff breccia, ranges in thickness
from 10 – 60 m and it conformably overlies the Chisel and Lalor members (Figs. 4 – 6). The unit
is thickest (60 m) in the South Chisel basin area where it has a felsic tuff matrix with heterolithic
clasts. In the Lalor area, the Lost member is thinner (10 m) and is a green-grey heterolithic feldspar-crystal-rich lapilli tuff to tuff-breccia. The Lost member is also recognized as intercalated felsic and mafic tuff or very fine-grained laminated tuff that stratigraphically overlies the massive felsic crystal-tuff of the Powderhouse formation and underlies Threehouse mafic volcaniclastic rocks.
Lithofacies XI: Stratified heterolithic crystal-rich tuff breccia with intermediate matrix
Lithofacies XI comprises green-grey, stratified beds of feldspar crystal-rich tuff, lapilli tuff, and tuff breccia that contain 3 – 5% basalt and 1 – 2% rhyolite blocks (Fig. 8b). It is restricted to the Lalor area, where it strikes north, is repeated by an F1 fold, has a minimum strike length of 1.1
18
km, and is ~20 m thick. The lower contact with underlying light grey felsic tuff is conformable, sharp and is marked by a scour structure. The upper contact with the Threehouse mafic volcaniclastic rocks, observed at the eastern extent of the Lalor area map (Fig. 4), is gradational from more felsic to mafic tuff matrix, and the base of the Threehouse volcaniclastic unit is marked by the first appearance of juvenile plagioclase-phyric basalt lapilli (Fig. 8c) that are compositionally and chemically identical to the Threehouse coherent basalt flows.
Lithofacies XII: Interbedded felsic and mafic tuff
Lithofacies XII comprises interbedded, coarse- to medium-grained felsic and mafic tuff that are locally very fine-grained and altered to a metamorphic assemblage of quartz, garnet, and staurolite. Depositional features observed in this unit include planar laminations in the very fine-
grained tuff, and planar and gradational bedding in the coarser tuff beds. This unit is 5-10 m thick
and is observed only in drill core south of the Lalor mine area and north of the Chisel mine area;
the lateral extent of this lithofacies is unknown. The upper and lower contacts are both conformable
and gradational over 1 – 5 m with overlying Threehouse mafic volcaniclastic rocks and the
underlying massive felsic crystal-tuff (lithofacies X).
Lithofacies XIII: Stratified heterolithic tuff-breccia with felsic matrix
Lithofacies XIII consists of stratified beds (0.1 – 1 m) of felsic tuff, lapilli tuff, and tuff breccia that contain blocks of rhyolite (10%), dacite (10%), basalt (5%), and tuff/lapilli-tuff (5%;
Figs. 8d, e). Depositional features observed in this unit include planar laminated bedding, normal
and reverse graded bedding, channel structures, and scour marks. Localized alteration patches of amphibole-garnet-feldspar are observed around blocks and along bedding planes as well as along localized faults (Fig. 8f). Lithofacies XIII has a minimum strike length of 1 km, and a maximum
thickness of 60 m (southwest side of Lost Lake). In the west and central portions of the South
19
Chisel basin area it conformably overlies massive felsic crystal-rich tuff (lithofacies VII) and
coarse heterolithic breccia (lithofacies VIII), and the contact is defined by the by the appearance
of well-defined bedding. Lithofacies XIII fines and thins to the east where it is in contact with
Moore mafic breccia; the lower contact is sharp and marked by a fault, the upper contact is not
exposed.
2.3.3 Geochemistry
Rocks in the SLA have locally undergone extensive hydrothermal alteration related to the
VMS deposits and regional upper greenschist to amphibole grade metamorphism (Froese and
Moore, 1980; Galley and Bailes, 2002; Bailes et al., 2016). Under these conditions most major
elements and low field strength elements (LFSE) are mobile, but Al2O3, TiO2, P2O5, rare earth
elements (REE), high field strength elements (HFSE), and transition metals are usually immobile
(MacLean, 1990; Jenner 1996). Variability in ratios of immobile Zr (McLean 1990) to the major
elements suggests that, as expected, SiO2, Na2O, CaO, MgO and Fe2O3 are mobile, whereas, a lack of scatter in the Zr vs. P2O5, TiO2, Al2O3, Th, Nb, and Sm plots indicate they are largely immobile
(e.g. Figs. 9a-h). Immobility of these key elements were also verified using the geochemical indices and criteria listed in Table 2. Only samples that meet all these geochemical criteria are
considered as least altered and used to classify the rocks.
Geochemical methods
Samples were analyzed by x-ray fluorescence (XRF; major elements) and inductively
coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS; trace elements) at Ontario Geoscience Laboratories
in Sudbury, Ontario. Sample preparation included crushing of whole rock samples by a steel jaw
crusher and powdering in an agate mill. Pulps were split, and samples being analyzed by XRF
were first run for loss on ignition (LOI: 105OC under nitrogen atmosphere, 1000OC under oxygen
20
atmosphere) and then fused with borate flux to produce a glass bead for analysis. Samples being
analyzed by ICP-MS were further prepared in solution by closed vessel multi-acid digest method.
Upper and lower detection limits for individual elements by each analytical method are listed in
the Ontario Geoscience Laboratories’ “Geoscience Laboratories 2016 Schedule of Fees and
Services”. Relative standard deviations (%RSD) for duplicate samples were <5% for XRF analyzes and <15% for ICP-MS analyzes.
Pulps prepared by the Ontario Geoscience Laboratories were then sent to the Pacific Center for Isotopic and Geochemical Research in Vancouver, British Columbia for radiogenic isotopic analyses. Eight samples were analyzed for neodymium, hafnium, and lead radiogenic isotopes by a Nu plasma 1700 multi-collector ICP-MS (MC-ICP-MS) and element concentrations were analyzed by Thermo Finnigan Element2 high resolution ICP-MS (HR-ICP-MS). Samples were
prepared in solution for analyzes using high-pressure Teflon vessels (bomb dissolution method).
Analyzes followed the methods of Weis. et. al. (2005, 2006, 2007). Values for the United States
Geological Survey (USGS) reference standard G3 yielded an average 143Nd/144Nd ratio 0.512233
with analytical uncertainty of 0.000012 (2SE), average 176Hf/177Hf ratio 0.282513 with analytical
uncertainty of 0.000003 (2SE), average 208Pb/204Pb ratio 38.8655 with analytical uncertainty of
0.0167 (2SD), average 207Pb/204Pb ratio 15.6353 with analytical uncertainty of 0.0037 (2SD), and
an average 206Pb/204Pb ratio 18.4119 with analytical uncertainty of 0.0636 (2SD).
Initial εNd values are reported relative to a chondritic uniform reservoir (CHUR) that yields
present day values of 143Nd/144Nd = 0.512638 (Goldstein et al., 1984) and 147Sm/144Nd =
0.1967 (Jacobsen and Wasserburg, 1980). Initial εHf values are reported relative to CHUR that
yields present day values of 176Hf/177Hf = 0.282785 (Bouvier et al., 2008) and 176Lu/177Hf =
21
0.0336 (Bouvier et al., 2008). Epsilon values were calculated at 1.89 Ga, the current accepted age
of the syn-volcanic Sneath Lake Pluton in SLA (Bailes et al., 1991; David et al., 1996).
Results
The Powderhouse formation is geochemically divisible into two distinct members, the Lalor and
Chisel members. This division is based on differences in the trace element and isotopic
composition of homogeneous, massive volcaniclastic lithofacies (I, II, VII, IX, X). Due to the
heterogenetic clast populations in many of the Powderhouse lithofacies, they could not be used for petrogenetic studies; however, individual clasts within the heterogeneous units were analyzed to determine potential source rocks, with implications for the volcanic reconstruction. Geochemical results for the homogeneous volcaniclastic mass flow lithofacies of the Lalor and Chisel members are compared in Tables 3 – 4, and results for the lithic clast constituents are found in the Table 5.
Homogeneous massive volcaniclastic lithofacies of the Lalor member plot as andesitic and
those of the Chisel member plot as dacitic based on Zr/TiO2 and Nb/Y ratios (Table 4, Fig. 10a).
Indiviual clasts from the Chisel member plot from basalt to andesite (Fig. 10a). Unusually low Zr
concentrations in the felsic rocks of the Chisel sequence may cause the Lalor and Chisel members
to plot more mafic then the minerology suggests. Stern et al. (1995) interpreted that a Zr-depleted refractory mantle may have led to low Zr concentrations in the parental magma that formed the felsic units in the Chisel sequence. Despite low Zr concentration, the Zr/TiO2 and Nb/Y ratios
provide evidence for two distinct populations (Fig. 10a, b). The Lalor member can also be
distinguished from the Chisel member by distinctly lower abundances of Nb and Th, and a larger
negative Nb anomaly relative to Th and La (Tables 3, 4 and Fig. 10d). Primitive mantle-
normalized values (Sun and McDonough, 1989) and chondrite-normalized values (Sun and
22
McDonough, 1989) show that both the Chisel and Lalor members have flat HREE patterns;
however, the Chisel member shows a greater LREE enrichment (steeper slope) than the Lalor
member (Table 4, Figs. 9c, d). Isotopically, the Lalor member has higher εNd and εHf values and
lower Pb ratios compared to the Chisel member (Tables 6,7 and Figs. 11a, b).
Lalor member geochemistry
Homogeneous volcaniclastic mass flow lithofacies (IX, X) have andesitic Zr/TiO2 and Nb/Y
ratios using the volcanic rock classification scheme of Winchester and Floyd (1977; Fig. 10a).
The Lalor member can be distinguished from the Chisel member by distinctly lower abundances
of Nb and Th, which is reflected in key element average ratios (Nb/Y =0.23, Nb/Yb= 2.17,
Th/Yb = 0.52, Nb/Zr = 0.05, and Nb/Th = 4.19), and a larger negative Nb anomaly relative to Th
and La for the Lalor member compared to the Chisel member (Table 4; Fig. 10d). Primitive
mantle-normalized values (Sun and McDonough, 1989) and chondrite-normalized values (Sun and McDonough, 1989) of the Lalor member show flat HREE patterns and moderate enrichment in LREEs (Nb/Lamn = 0.43, Nb/Thmn = 0.50, La/Smch = 2.20, and Sm/Ybch = 1.55), but to a lesser
degree when compared to the Chisel member (Table 4, Fig. 10b,c). Isotopically, the Lalor member has higher εNd (+2.5-+4.2) and εHf (+7.1-+9.3) values and lower Pb ratios (206/204Pb =
17.572–18.743, 207/204Pb = 15.410-15.560, 208/204Pb = 36.288-37.120) when compared to the
Chisel member (Tables 6, 7).
Chisel member geochemistry
Homogeneous volcaniclastic mass flow lithofacies (I, II, VII) have dacitic Zr/TiO2 and Nb/Y
ratios using the volcanic rock classification scheme of Winchester and Floyd (1977; Fig. 10a).
Individual clasts within the Chisel member have Zr/TiO2 and Nb/Y ratios coincident with basalt,
23 basaltic andesite and andesite (Fig. 10a). The Chisel member has higher Nb and Th values then the Lalor member, which is reflected in key element average ratios (Nb/Y = 0.39, Nb/Yb= 3.72,
Th/Yb = 2.19, Nb/Zr = 0.08, and Nb/Th = 1.70; Table 4; Figs. 10a, d). Primitive mantle- normalized values (Sun and McDonough, 1989) and chondrite-normalized values (Sun and
McDonough, 1989) of the Chisel member show flat HREE patterns, more enriched LREEs
(moderate slope), and more pronounced negative Nb anomalies, relative to Th and La, in comparison with the Lalor member (Figs.10 c, d ; Nb/Lamn = 0.22, Nb/Thmn = 0.20, La/Smch =
3.35, and Sm/Ybch = 3.34). Isotopically the Chisel member has lower εNd (+2.2-+2.6) and εHf
(+5.8 -+8.1) values and higher Pb ratios (206/204Pb = 21.172–24.57, 207/204Pb = 15.829–16.150,
208/204Pb = 39.327-41.145) when compared to the Lalor member (Tables 6, 7).
2.4 Discussion
Though typically dominated by effusive lava flows, subaqueous eruptions may contain significant volcaniclastic material derived either from primary pyroclastic eruptions or from the remobilization or reworking of previously erupted volcanic material (Busby-Spera 1987; Cas and
Wright, 1991; Kokelaar and Busby, 1992; Wright and Gamble, 1999; Mueller et al., 2000; Cas et al., 2003; Clague et al., 2009; Rubingh et al., 2017). Interpreting a pyroclastic origin for ancient deposits is difficult, especially deposits such as those of the Powderhouse formation, which have been hydrothermally altered, polydeformed and metamorphosed to amphibolite facies. Volcanic components and textures (e.g. glass shards, pumice, welding and eutaxitic features) required to identify pyroclastic fragmentation are commonly destroyed or modified. There has been controversy in the terminology used to describe subaqueous volcanic deposits formed by fragmentation. For example, Cas and Wright (1991) suggest that for a deposit to be “a pyroclastic
24 flow deposit” it must display the following: 1) it must be comprised of pyroclastic debris; 2) the facies must be characteristic of a pyroclastic mass flow mode of deposition; and 3) it must display evidence for hot emplacement.
However, hot emplacement in a subaqueous environment is nearly impossible due to rapid cooling/quenching of pyroclastic material upon contact with cold seawater during eruption preventing the preservation of any evidence for hot emplacement. Furthermore, in hydrothermally active environments, primary mineralogy and textures are likely to be overprinted by seafloor and subseafloor hydrothermal alteration (Allen, 1988; Allen and Cas, 1990; Gifkins and Allen, 2001;
McPhie and Allen, 2003, Gifkins et al., 2005; Bull and McPhie, 2007) and by subsequent deformation and metamorphism. Thus, other researchers (e.g. Gibson et al., 1999, Kessel and
Busby, 2003; Hudak et al., 2003; Mueller et al., 2000; White, 2000; and Head and Wilson, 2003) have described various types of volcaniclastic deposits generated by subaqueous pyroclastic eruptions. White (2000) described in detail the products of subaqueous eruption-fed density currents, generated by pyroclastic eruptions, regardless of evidence for hot emplacement, and differentiated these pyroclastic deposits from those that have been genuinely reworked and redeposited by later post-eruption processes. The SLA is interpreted to represent a submarine arc
(Stern et al. 1992; Bailes and Schledewitz, 1998; Bailes and Galley, 1996,1999, 2007) and though there is no direct evidence of subaqueous emplacement for the Powderhouse formation it can be inferred as there is evidence for subaqueous emplacement of the conformably bounding lithological units. Pillowed flows and hyaloclastite within the underlying Snell and Moore basalts are indicative of a subaqueous environment (Bailes and Galley, 2007; this study) and the overlying
Threehouse volcaniclastic rocks show evidence for below storm wave base, shallow water and emergent environments (Bailes and Galley, 1996; 2007). The fact that the Powderhouse formation
25
forms the stratigraphic footwall to the VMS deposits of the Chisel sequence and includes alteration
and mineralization attributed to the VMS ore system is also consistent with a submarine volcanic
setting.
2.4.1 Origin and emplacement of the Chisel, and Lalor member lithofacies
Lithofacies I, II, IX & X
The basal lithofacies, I and II, of the Chisel member share common components, mineralogy, textures, structures, and bedforms with lithofacies IX and X of the Lalor member. They are the most distinctive and voluminous felsic volcaniclastic lithofacies within the Powderhouse formation and contain components consistent with pyroclastic fragmentation and display bedforms and organization consistent with primary submarine pyroclastic rocks.
They are composed of crystals (feldspar, sparse quartz), lithic (cognate) lapilli, are dominated by a fine, <2 mm ash-sized matrix, and contain black, wispy, clasts that contain phenocrysts of feldspar (sparse quartz). The wispy clasts are characteristically elongate-flat in
morphology and define a foliation. However, adjacent lithic clasts are not flattened which suggest
that the shape of the wispy clast cannot be attributed solely to deformation but may, in part, be due to early compaction, typical of juvenile glass or pumice that is preferentially susceptible to syn- volcanic seafloor and subseafloor alteration (Allen, 1988; Allen and Cas, 1990; Gifkins and Allen,
2001; Kessel and Busby, 2003; McPhie and Allen, 2003, Gifkins et al., 2005; Bull and McPhie,
2007).
The internal organization of components and bedforms of lithofacies I, II, IX and X are consistent with those described for primary pyroclastic deposits produced by submarine, eruption- fed and water-supported pyroclastic flows (Fiske, 1963; Fiske and Matsunda, 1964, Bond, 1973;
26
Yamada, 1973; Niem, 1977; Morton and Nebel, 1984; Cas and Wright, 1991; Kano, 1996, Gibson et al., 1999; White, 2000; Head and Wilson, 2003; Hudak et al., 2003; Kessel and Busby, 2003).
The massive beds of lithofacies I and IX, and the lack of sedimentary structures are typical of the coarser grained, lithic- and crystal-rich base of submarine pyroclastic mass flow deposits. Sparse blocks of mafic and felsic lithic volcanic clasts, particularly in lithofacies IX, are likely derived from the substrate during emplacement and entrained in the high-energy mass flow. The finer, massive, to thin bedded tuff of lithofacies II and X also display normal grading, scour structures, and broken crystals. The angular and broken crystals in lithofacies X suggest explosive fragmentation (White 2000). The graded beds and scour structures indicate rapid deposition from high-density turbidity currents and the planar laminated beds indicate a decrease in energy and leading to suspension deposition from the water column (Mueller et al., 2000). Thus, lithofacies
I, II, IX, X are interpreted to be a product of subaqueous pyroclastic eruptions and subsequent eruption-fed density currents. Furthermore, these lithofacies are voluminous and uniform in composition and texture across the basin, suggesting one provenance and a primary pyroclastic origin.
The minimum volume of pyroclastic material erupted for the Chisel member (lithofacies
I,II,VII) is approximately 250 m3 based on a 210 m thickness and 1.2 km strike length, assuming that the basin in which these units were deposited is cylindrical. Using the same formula, the minimum volume of pyroclastic material erupted for the Lalor member (lithofacies IX, X) is approximately 2.2 km3 based on a 5 km strike length and 110 m thickness. The minimum volume of pyroclastic material erupted for the Powderhouse formation would then be approximately 2.5 km3. Although this volume is small compared to other documented subaqueous pyroclastic mass flow deposits (i.e. Sturgeon Lake Caldera Complex, up to 24 km3, Hudak et al. 2003) it does not
27
take into account the potential volume lost due to erosion and deformation, and thickness variations that were not documented in this study, in particular little is known about the internal structure and thickness of the Powderhouse formation west of the Chisel Lake gabbroic intrusion as previously mapped by Bailes and Galley (2007). Rubingh et al. 2017 suggests that if the pyroclastic flows in the McLeod Road –Birch Lake area are a thrust repetition of the Powderhouse formation then the total volume of pyroclastic material could be upwards of 10 km3. Moreover, recent studies of
modern submarine silicic eruptions suggest that eruption size and magma production is vastly
underestimated in the ancient rock record. Carey et al. 2018 estimated a loss of ~75% of the total
material erupted from the 2012 submarine silicic eruption of Havre volcano in the Kermedec arc, as this material was partitioned into a pumice raft that travelled far from the volcanic edifice from which it originated. If we applied this concept to the emplacement of the Powderhouse formation then the total volume of pyroclastic material could be upwards of 40 km3.
It was generally assumed that without unusually high volatile content pyroclastic eruptions were limited to less than 2000 m depth, the critical hydrostatic pressure for explosive fragmentation (McBirney, 1963; Pecover et al. 1973; Kokelarr 1986; Cas 1992; Gibson et al.
1999). However, more recent studies of modern submarine pyroclastic eruptions have provided new evidence suggesting explosive fragmentation can occur that depths upwards of 3000 m (Head and Wilson, 2003; Clague et al., 2009). A modern analog for the Powderhouse formation is the deep water (up to 1220 m) silicic eruptions during the 2012 submarine eruption of Havre volcano in the Kermadec arc, New Zealand (Carey et al. 2018). The eruption created a 400 km2 thick raft
of pumice as well as 35 km2 apron of tuff-breccia with pumice blocks as large at 9 m surrounding
the summit caldera. Deposits of felsic pyroclastic material including pumice clasts were also recorded at water depths upwards of 2100 m in the Woodlark and Manus extensional rift basins
28
off the coast of Papua New Guinea (Binns, 2003). Fouquet et al. (1998) documented extensive
volcaniclastic deposits along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) reaching water depths up in excess
of 2000 m within the “Lucky Strike” 15 km wide rift valley. The volcaniclastic lithofacies
described by Fouquet et al. (1998) are similar to those of the Powderhouse formation with both
massive crystal tuff units and well bedded sequences of fine tuff and coarse breccia deposits. Also documented were highly vesicular glass fragments that showed evidence of stretching and elongation prior to and during quenching, similar to the “flattened juvenile clasts” found in lithofacies (I and IX) of the Powderhouse formation, and although there are no welding textures observed, both Fouquet et al. (1998) and Head and Wilson (2003) have interpreted these MAR volcaniclastic deposits to be of pyroclastic origin. Thus, the qualitative maximum water depth during Powderhouse volcanism could be up to 3000 m if contemporaneous with basin subsidence, with a minimum water depth of >200m based on the lack of sedimentary structures such as hummocky crossbedding that indicate it was emplaced below storm wave base (Cas and Wright,
1991; Mueller and Wright, 1992; Kano et al. 1996; Hudak et al. 2003; Kessel and Busby 2003;
Cas et al. 2003; Busby, 2005; Allen and McPhie, 2009).
Lithofacies III
Two clast types (rhyolite and andesite) dominate this lithofacies. The andesite clasts are nearly identical to those in the pyroclastic mass flow lithofacies (I, II, VII) of the Chisel member (Fig.
10a), suggesting they were derived from the same parental magma. The rhyolite clasts display similar REE patterns to the differentiated rocks of the lower Chisel sequence and plot similar to the Chisel member pyroclastic mass flows on the volcanic rock discrimination diagram (Fig. 10a), suggesting that the rhyolite may also be related to Powderhouse volcanism. Channel structures and
29 the coarse, blocky nature of this breccia are consistent with transportation by high-concentration mass flows and deposition within basins. The rhyolite clasts are interpreted to have been derived from a rhyolite flow/dome. The block-size clasts and heterolithic character suggest that this lithofacies represents a syn-eruptive, resedimented deposit perhaps derived by collapse along nearby fault scarps.
Lithofacies IV, VI & VIII
Lithofacies IV, VI, and VIII are heterolithic, crudely bedded to poorly sorted and massive, and are laterally discontinuous, which suggests that they were emplaced as mass debris flows and deposited within topographic lows (sub-basins). These lithofacies contain plagioclase-phyric and aphyric, vesicular basalt clasts with geochemical signatures typical of Moore basalt, as well as andesite clasts with geochemical signatures typical of the Chisel member pyroclastic mass flows.
Felsic blocks and lapilli may have been derived from the underlying felsic breccia or could have been sourced from the same flow/dome as lithofacies II. Lithofacies VIII also contains plagioclase- phyric andesite, and quartz-feldspar-phyric rhyolite clasts with geochemical signatures typical of the Chisel member pyroclastic flows. Other clasts include a plagioclase-phyric, subalkaline basalt, and two types of aphyric andesitic basalt that have chemistry different from any Chisel sequence units for which there is data. The occurrence of basalt clasts derived from the older and underlying
Moore basalt suggests localized unroofing, perhaps related to ongoing subsidence, that exposed the Moore formation along faults scarps with clasts transported as debris into the basin from these fault scarps. The sharp, conformable contacts separating these units suggest that they each represent a distinct debris flow event.
Lithofacies V
30
The irregular and delicate shapes of mafic vitric lapilli in this unit suggest that the clasts were not
transported far from the source. Since this unit is laterally restricted and within a package of thick,
coarse breccias, it is interpreted to be the result of mass wasting generated by localized faulting,
sourcing glassy basalt fragments either from the margins of a basalt lava or already deposited
volcaniclastic debris, which mixed with felsic tuff in the basin originally deposited as a result of
Powderhouse volcanism.
Lithofacies VII
The massive, thick (0.1 - 5 m) beds and crystal-rich nature of this unit suggests that it was deposited as high concentration mass flows. The geochemical and isotopic signatures of this unit are nearly identical to lithofacies I and II suggesting derivation from the same parental magma; however, the
very fine-grained texture of the massive tuff and decrease in size and abundance of crystals lapilli
suggests that the eruption was more violent than the eruption of lithofacies I and II. Blocks of
plagioclase-phyric basalt that are geochemically similar to Moore basalt, and rhyolite blocks
similar to the Chisel rhyolite, suggest exposure of the older Moore basalt through faulting. Blocks
of laminated tuff are interpreted to have been entrained in the high concentration mass flow as it
moved downslope, potentially scouring and entraining ash-sized fragments of lithofacies II.
Comparison of the Lalor and Chisel member “Pyroclastic” mass flow geochemistry
Only the least altered homogeneous samples were used for comparison of the Chisel and Lalor
member pyroclastic mass flows to reduce any potential false indicators due to heterogeneity in
these volcaniclastic rock samples. Samples were taken from several exposures and were analyzed
using the methods outlined above (see Analytical Methods). Therefore, we are confident that the
geochemical variations between the two pyroclastic mass flows are intrinsic and provide useful
insight to the origin of these rocks.
31
Lithofacies I and II of the Chisel member and lithofacies IX and X of the Lalor member share similar geochemical characteristics, elevated LREEs relative to HREEs, negative Ti and V anomalies, and negative Nb relative to Th and La (Figs. 10 c, d; Table 4) all suggesting a volcanic arc setting. Sm-Nd and Pb-Pb isotopes and Nb-Th-Yb systematics indicate the magmas producing these pyroclastic flows originated from the mixing of a mantle derived magma contaminated by continental crust within a volcanic arc setting (Figs. 11a-c). Positive Eu anomalies are likely a result of the concentration of Eu in early formed plagioclase that accumulated at the top of the magma chamber and was then explosively and preferentially erupted as a pyroclastic mass flow thereby concentrating Eu in these deposits. The Chisel member and Lalor member pyroclastic mass flows were erupted by similar processes and share similar geochemical signatures related to the tectonic setting. Both members show evidence of crustal contamination of a mantle derived magma and have similar overall HFSE concentrations, suggesting they are derived from the same mantle source (Pearce and Peate, 1995). However, there are distinctive differences in the isotopic signatures and trace element ratios that suggest two different magma sources. The Chisel member shows a greater enrichment in the LREEs, LILEs, HFSEs with the exception of P, Ti, and V, which have lower abundances when compared to the Lalor member. The enrichment of LREE and LILE in the Chisel member suggests that the parental magma underwent a greater degree of mixing and/or crustal contamination (Pearce and Peate, 1995). Fig.11a compares the Lalor and Chisel members on a Nb/Yb vs. ƐNd diagram (after Stern et al. 1995), the Chisel member shows a greater degree of mixing of older crustal Nd, where the Lalor member requires limited mixing of older crustal Nd. The Chisel member also has lower ƐNd and ƐHf, and higher isotopic lead ratios than the Lalor member, suggesting the Chisel member magma was formed as a product of greater crustal contamination and mixing (Stern et al, 1992; Bailes and Galley, 1999; this study). Fig. 11b
32
shows the evolution of Pb along N-MORB and upper crust isochrons with the input from either
subducted slab metasomatism or the subduction of sediments. The Pb reference isochron is
between N-MORB and upper crust isochrons (Kramers and Tolstikin, 1997). Both the Chisel and
Lalor members have positive correlation with the upper crust isochron, with the Chisel member
having higher Pb ratios then the Lalor member, further evidence of greater crustal contamination
in the Chisel member parental magma. Increased Th/Yb ratios also indicate a degree of subduction
zone influence and/or crustal contamination for both the Lalor and Chisel members (Fig. 11c).
2.4.2 Origin and Emplacement of the Lost Member
Lithofacies XI, XII, & XIII
The Lost member represents a time stratigraphic interval, the “Ore Interval”, that marks contemporaneous rhyolite dome eruption, VMS formation, and a hiatus in explosive volcanism.
The composition of this member is dependent on its components. The heterolithic, block-rich
nature of some beds is consistent with deposition via high concentration mass flows. Channel
structures, cross-laminations, and graded bedding are interpreted to be the result of re-working by
bottom currents with mass wasting off fault scarps. Planar laminated tuffs in this unit are
interpreted to be the result of suspension sedimentation.
Lithofacies XI in the Lalor area contains clasts of rhyolite that are geochemically similar
to low-Ti rhyolite in the Photo area (Engelbert et al., 2014), suggesting that this unit either post- dates or is contemporaneous with the emplacement of Photo rhyolite, which hosts the Au-rich
Photo VMS deposit. The upper contact of this unit is conformable and is marked by an increase in
felspar crystal abundance and size, and the first appearance of plagioclase-phyric juvenile basalt
clasts (with geochemical signatures similar to Threehouse basalt flows characterized by relatively
33
flat REE patterns, sub-alkaline basalt Zr/TiO2 – Nb/Y ratios, slight negative Nb and Sm anomalies
and slight positive Al, V, and Sc anomalies), these features suggest the onset of mafic Threehouse
volcanism and the end of felsic Powderhouse volcanism. Meter-sized rhyolite and basalt blocks along with localized syn-volcanic faults (i.e. faults that do not persist into the conformable underlaying or overlying units and display rotation of clasts and beds opposed to sharp cross- cutting relationships) in this unit suggest derivation via mass wasting and or collapse along nearby fault scarps and deposition into a basin structure. These are features also seen in lithofacies XIII in the South Chisel basin area suggesting a dynamic environment where active subsidence is creating localized basins within the larger basin.
Lithofacies XII, as observed in drill core, conformably overlies the intermediate massive
crystal tuff of the Lalor member and conformably underlies Threehouse mafic tuff. The unit differs
from lithofacies XI and XIII as it lacks coarse clastic material and any evidence of syn-volcanic
faulting. However, the intercalated beds of fine-grained felsic tuff and medium-grained mafic tuff
form a gradational contact up to 10 m thick and represent the transition from felsic Powderhouse
volcanism to mafic Threehouse volcanism. Occasionally a very fine-grained, bedded, siliceous biotite-rich volcanic “mud” with minor garnet and staurolite porphyroblasts is found along this
contact. The unit was likely deposited distal to any active fault scarps because the tuff beds are
relatively undisturbed with the exception of the occasional channel or scour structure and the lack of large clasts. The massive tuff beds were likely deposited by high concentration mass flows and the very fine graded, bedded volcanic “mud” is interpreted as the product of suspension sedimentation.
Lithofacies XIII contains an abundance of heterolthic blocks and outcrop-scale syn- volcanic faults, channel structures, scour marks, and normal and inverse graded bedding
34
suggesting this unit was deposited by high concentration mass flows and re-worked in a
tectonically active area. The clast types in this unit including rhyolite clasts that are geochemically
the same as the Chisel rhyolite (Chisel rhyolite geochemistry from Bailes, 2012; Stewart et al.
2018), and amygdaloidal andesite-basalt, and felsic lapilli-tuff and tuff blocks that are
geochemically similar to underlying Chisel member pyroclastic mass flows, suggest that this unit post-dates the pyroclastic mass flows of the Powderhouse and post-dates or is contemporaneous with the emplacement of the Chisel rhyolite, which hosts the Chisel VMS deposit. Furthermore,
the occurrence of blocks of re-sedimented pyroclastic material from the base of the Powderhouse formation in the upper most unit of the formation suggest subsidence was taking place during the emplacement of the Powderhouse formation.
The lithofacies of the Lost member are compositionally different but are stratigraphically equivalent based on conformable relationships observed in outcrop and drill core. Evidence for active subsidence is observed in both the Lalor and Chisel areas and clasts of Photo and Chisel rhyolite found within lithofacies of the Lost member suggest that rhyolite dome emplacement and
VMS formation was contemporaneous with the hiatus in explosive volcanism between the
Powderhouse and Threehouse volcanic events.
2.4.3 Volcanic reconstruction and evidence for subsidence during emplacement of the
Powderhouse formation
Methodology
In previous sections we provided evidence of a pyroclastic origin for lithofacies I, II, VII, IX and
X. Based on variations in thickness and distribution we also present evidence of synvolcanic
subsidence and argue that the Powderhouse formation is the product of explosive pyroclastic
35 eruptions that were accompanied by caldera-like subsidence during arc rifting. Documenting synvolcanic structures and subsidence in ancient, deformed terrains with limited outcrop is a challenge. To do this, we first had to define an internal stratigraphy for the Powderhouse formation, essentially an ordering of lithofacies so that their distribution, absence, thickness and extent could be recognized and mapped (Figs. 4-6). Second, we constructed a fence diagram using stratigraphic columns for the Powderhouse formation representative of lithofacies variations in the Lalor and
South Chisel basin areas as shown in Fig. 6. The Threehouse mafic volcaniclastic rocks, a visually and compositionally distinctive marker unit, was used as the reference from which to hang the sections and define the top of the Powerhouse formation (Lost member).
Evidence of synvolcanic faulting
Gibson et al. (1999) present criteria for distinguishing synvolcanic structures in ancient volcanic successions including the following: 1) the presence of dikes or apophyses of synvolcanic intrusions; 2) the intensification of discordant hydrothermal alteration and/or abrupt changes in alteration type; 3) abrupt changes in a unit’s or units’ thickness(es); 4) the offset of a unit with subsequent units not offset; and 5) localized deposits of monolithic to heterolithic coarse breccia.
Detailed lithofacies mapping of the Powderhouse formation has provided evidence for most (2 –
5) of these criteria, most dramatically the abrupt lateral termination and offset of only some but not all units, and thick packages of coarse heterolithic volcanic breaccias observed in the South
Chisel basin area. From Fig. 6 and the South Chisel basin area map (Fig. 5) it is readily apparent that the lithofacies do not extend across map areas. Most, in fact, are restricted in their distribution, and abrupt changes in the thickness or the absence of lithofacies was used to define the north-south faults shown on the South Chisel basin area map and the “red” faults in Fig. 6, which separate the four stratigraphic columns. One might argue the offset of lithofacies could be, in part, a result of
36
subsequent deformation. However, the abrupt termination of 80+ m thick lithofacies at these faults,
while conformably bounding lithofacies continue across the faults indicates they are best
interpreted to be synvolcanic faults and that lithofacies distribution is the product of piece-meal subsidence during their emplacement. In addition, the presence of thick packages (80 to 100 m) of coarse, clast-supported, laterally restricted heterolithic breccias are found in proximity to these interpreted synvolcanic faults. The accumulation of such thick packages of breccia that contain clasts of the underlying Moore formation is best explained by fragmentation and transportation due to faulting.
Using the stratigraphy defined herein, the sequence of units within faults blocks, and
location of synvolcanic faults illustrated in Figs. 5 and 6, the geochemistry of individual units and,
in particular, clasts to reconstruct their provenance an interpretation for the volcanic and subsidence history of the Powderhouse formation in the Lalor and South Chisel basin areas is presented below.
Volcanic and Subsidence History
Geochemical and isotopic data show that the Lalor and Chisel members were the result of two
eruptive events and may have occupied separate nested basins within a larger subsidence structure
(Lalor-Chisel basin). Fig. 12a is a schematic diagram that shows the emplacement of the
subaqueous pyroclastic flows (lithofacies I, II, IX, and X) that define the first eruptive events of
the Powderhouse formation. The two eruptions occupy the same stratigraphic interval; therefore,
they must have been emplaced at approximately the same time. Based on lithogeochemistry from
drill core and structural mapping of the Lalor-Photo mine areas Stewart et al. (2018) suggested
that the Chisel member pyroclastic flows may sit stratigraphically above the Lalor member
37
pyroclastic flows in the Lalor mine area. Based on this new evidence the Lalor member pyroclastic
mass flows would have erupted prior to the Chisel member pyroclastic flows. Fig. 12b shows subsidence associated with the evacuation of the magma chamber(s) and the generation of debris flows (lithofacies III, IV, V and VI) from syn-volcanic faults. Fig. 12c depicts a second pyroclastic eruption (lithofacies VII) in the Chisel sub-basin. The massive, fine tuff of this lithofacies suggests higher explosivity then the eruption that produced lithofacies I and II. Fig. 12d depicts the formation of the “Ore Interval” during continued subsidence resulting in more debris flows followed by a hiatus in explosive volcanism during which time there was reworking of material within the basins stratified volcaniclastic units (lithofacies XI, XII and XIII) that are contemporaneous with rhyolite dome and VMS formation along strike. Commonly hydrothermal alteration (with metamorphic overprint) is observed along these faults and along bedding contacts in proximity to these faults, suggesting they were conduits for hydrothermal fluids. Fig. 10e represents the end of Powderhouse felsic volcanism and the onset of Threehouse mafic volcanism forming the hanging wall to the deposits. Fig. 13 is a schematic block diagram, at the time of ore- formation, showing the interpreted architecture of the volcanic subsidence structures that host the deposits and in which the Powderhouse formation was erupted and deposited. Based on mapping and drill core logging, the deposits are located primarily along the margins of the subsidence structures and are spatially associated with syn-volcanic faults that provided pathways for hydrothermal fluids.
Correlation of the Snow Lake arc assemblage with the McLeod Road – Birch Lake sequence
Correlation between the Snow Lake arc assemblage and the McLeod Road – Birch Lake sequence was first suggested by Bailes and Schledewitz (1998) based on geochemical attributes. More recently, Rubingh et al. (2017), has provided detailed lithostratigraphy and chemostratigraphy for
38
the volcanic rocks within the McLeod Road – Birch Lake sequence. Among the units described by
Rubingh et.al. (2017) is a felsic ash- and crystal-rich volcaniclastic unit with flattened vitric lapilli visually similar to the subaqueous pyroclastic mass flow facies found in the Chisel and Lalor members (I and IX lithofacies). A plagioclase-phyric rhyolite and a mafic volcaniclastic unit, which have been interpreted as being correlative to the Ghost-Photo rhyolite and the Threehouse mafic volcaniclastic rocks, respectively, overlie the felsic volcaniclastic unit within the McLeod
Road – Birch Lake sequence (Rubingh et al., 2017).
Geochemically the felsic volcaniclastic unit of the McLeod Road – Birch Lake has similar key element ratios to both the Chisel and the Lalor members, but is not identical to either (Table
4). The felsic volcaniclastic unit has Nb/La pm and La/Ybch ratios that fall in the same range as the
Lalor member; however, it has a Nb/Th mn ratio below that of the Lalor member and Zr/TiO2 ratios
higher than that of the Lalor member and more characteristic of the Chisel member. Variable Nb/Y
ratios in the felsic volcaniclastic unit span both fields and could be attributed to either member.
One explanation for the discrepancies in key element ratios described above could be that
the felsic volcaniclastic unit of the McLeod Road – Birch Lake sequence is not part of the
subaqueous pyroclastic eruptions that produced the Lalor or Chisel members instead constitutes
its own separate eruptive event with a slightly different composition of parental magma. It may have formed in a nested basin, separate from the Lalor or Chisel basins, within the larger
subsidence structure. This has been documented in other VMS camps including the Sturgeon Lake
Caldera Complex where five separate pyroclastic flows have been identified and are interpreted to
define nested calderas within a larger subsidence structure (Morton et al., 1991).
Based on stratigraphic position and the trace element trends that are similar to those of the
Powderhouse formation, we confirm the interpretation of Rubingh et al. (2017) that the felsic
39 volcaniclastic unit found in the McLeod Road – Birch Lake sequence is likely a thrust repeat of the Powderhouse formation, but that may have been erupted in a separate basin and from a slightly different parental magma.
2.5 Conclusions
The stratigraphic subdivision of the Powderhouse formation provided herein represents a clearly defined formation, that is subdivided into three mappable members, the Chisel, Lalor, and Lost members and allows, for the first time, correlation between the South Chisel basin and Lalor areas.
Detailed mapping has resulted in the definition of 13 different lithofacies within the Powderhouse formation with distinct lithologic and geochemical attributes, including definition of the lithofacies that define the “Ore Interval” for the Chisel, Lost, and Ghost VMS deposits. The Powderhouse formation defines a syn-volcanic subsidence structure that consists of nested basins that restricted the distribution of the Chisel and Lalor members. The Chisel and Lalor members contain lithofacies and bedforms that are characteristic of emplacement by subaqueous pyroclastic mass flows; however, these mass flows are geochemically and isotopically distinct, suggesting they are not derived from the same parental magma. These pyroclastic eruptions represent the onset of
Powderhouse formation volcanism, which was accompanied by concomitant subsidence. The
Chisel member also contains thick packages of coarse volcaniclastic breccia that are interpreted to have been emplaced by debris flows derived from movement along fault scarps after early pyroclastic eruptions, and during continued subsidence. The Lost member consists of lithofacies deposited by mass flows generated from faults scraps during continued subsidence, those interpreted to have been reworked by bottom currents, and those deposited by suspension sedimentation. Locally it consists of coherent rhyolite. The Chisel, Lost and Ghost VMS deposits are spatially associated with rhyolite domes and syn-volcanic faults, acting as hydrothermal fluid
40
pathways, recognized by thick succession of coarse volcaniclastic debris and rapid lateral facies
changes within the Lost member. The Lost member represents a time stratigraphic interval, the
“Ore Interval”, that marks contemporaneous rhyolite dome eruption, VMS formation, and a hiatus
in explosive volcanism.
Chisel sequence VMS deposits are spatially and temporally associated with the
development of the Chisel-Lalor basin subsidence structure. The Chisel-Lalor basin is a unique
environment within the Snow Lake arc assemblage as it represents a small-scale manifestation of tectonic-scale arc-rifting. Multiple voluminous pyroclastic eruptions combined with synvolcanic subsidence suggest a rifting environment with potential mantel upwelling creating a heat engine for enriched mantle fluids. We interpret these fluids to have moved along deep-penetrating structures into the Chisel-Lalor basin where they circulated, stripping metals from footwall rocks and depositing them in the permeable volcanic rocks of the Powderhouse formation. The evacuation of the magma chamber during Powderhouse volcanism led to ongoing subsidence, and during the recharge of magma between Powderhouse volcanism and Threehouse volcanism there was a period of quiescence in which VMS deposits were formed. The association between VMS formation and caldera development has been well documented in other VMS districts including the Archean Noranda and Sturgeon Lake VMS deposits. In Noranda the VMS deposits are preferentially located in space and time to the development of the Noranda Cauldron and are locally associated with dyke swarms and sills that are thought to define the syn-volcanic structures that controlled the volcanic centers, vents, and VMS deposits (Gibson and Galley, 2007, and references therin). At Sturgeon the Lake the VMS deposits are associated with the development of the Sturgeon Lake Caldera Complex and are hosted in felsic tuffs that are fault bounded and laterally restricted within the caldera (Hudak et al. 2003and references therin). Therefore,
41 identifying volcanic rock suites that are consistent with caldera formation is key for VMS exploration.
The Powderhouse formation is a metallogenically significant unit in the Snow Lake arc assemblage and its emplacement mechanisms are directly linked to VMS formation. Exploration efforts may be focused on identifying reactivated syn-volcanic faults by identifying displacement or abrupt lateral termination of lithofacies and thick packages of heterolithic volcanic breccia combined with increased hydrothermal alteration. A large subsidence structure like the Lalor-
Chisel basin can consist of many syn-volcanic faults that can be utalized as fluid pathways that allow for multiple VMS deposits to form along the same horizon. Identification of this ore forming horizon, the “Ore Interval”, is crucial for targeting potential VMS deposits. In the Chisel sequence identifying stratified volcaniclastic units of the Lost member and tracing those units along strike may aid in finding new deposits. On a regional scale, identifying distinct geochemical and isotopic changes between rock units may be useful for tareting VMS forming horizons; specifically the identification of key element ratios typical of arc rifting environments including elevated light
REE, higher Th/Nb, Th/Yb, and La/Yb ratios, and isotopical juvenile rock suites, as seen in the
Powderhouse formation and volcanic rocks of the lower Chisel sequence.
Rubingh et al. (2017) interpreted a felsic volcaniclastic unit found in the McLeod Lake –
Birch Lake sequence, which is in structural contact with the upper Chisel sequence, to be a thrust repeat of the Powderhouse formation. Based on stratigraphic position and the very similar trace element trends to the primary pyroclastic flows of the Powderhouse formation, we agreed that the felsic volcaniclastic unit found in the McLeod Lake – Birch Lake sequence is a thrust repeat of the
Powderhouse formation, but that was formed from a slightly different parental magma composition.

Nd and εNd = -7 after the 2.5 Ga Beaverhouse Granodiorite. b) common Pb diagram for whole
rock samples of the Chisel and Lalor members’ volcaniclastic mass flow lithofacies. This
diagram illustrates that the parental magmas were crustally contaminated, to a higher degree in
the Chisel member samples, because they fall just below the upper crust isochron. The normal
mid-ocean ridge basalt (N-MORB) isochron and upper crust isochron were calculated using
enriched mantle values for the evolution of Pb from Collerson and Kamber (2000). c) Th/Yb vs.

The tables included in this appendix are based on field observations and include the lithofacies name, clast composition, percentage, shape, sizes, crystal content, matrix composition, and the bedforms, structures, thickness, and distribution of these units. These tables are to be used in conjunction with outcrop maps of the Chisel basin area and Lalor mine area that can be found in the main body of the thesis.

Appendix IV
Graphic Logs
Graphic logs from diamond drill core that were omitted from the main body of the thesis
for brevity, are documented in this appendix. The collar locations for these drill holes are
located on the region map in Figure 2 of the thesis. The main objective of re-logging these
drill holes was to identify document the internal lithofacies of the Powderhouse formation
and the units bounding the Powderhouse formation.
