Deposit name(s): Gondor (deposit name)
Political location(s): Canada; Province or state: Nunavut
NTS map data: 076E12 (Concession Lake)
Deposit clan (type): Volcanogenic massive sulphide
Deposit (sub) types: Bimodal mafic; 1
Deposit status: adnanced exploration
Geologic province: Slave
Geologic subprovince: Olga Lake volcanic belt
Commodities: Cu; Pb; Zn; Ag
Geological ages: Neoarchean (host rocks)
Radiometric ages: Age - Ma: 2,800; Event dated: mineralization; Interpretive comment: approximate age reported in SEG Centennial Volume appendix
Qualified comments: (Applies to: mineralization) The classification of this deposit into Bimodal mafic might merit examination, as the deposit is somewhat enigmatic. The mineralization itself occurs in intermediate to felsic volcaniclastic rocks 250 m above a basal pillowed mafic flow.
