The lead–zinc–barite deposits of the Dorion region are spatially associated with the unconformity between the Sibley Group (Helikian) and Archean and Aphebian basement rocks. The veins are coarse grained, and mineralogically zoned with galena–calcite in the central zone, sphalerite–quartz surrounding the central zone, and barite (±chalcopyrite) in the vein extremities. Veins occur near the pinch-out of the "Pass Lake formation" (basal Sibley Group), within the dolomite of the overlying "Rossport formation", or in nearby basement fractures. Rossport dolomite, where it forms a vein wall, is highly altered to metal-enriched chert and calcite. Archean wall rocks are not altered.Potassium–argon isotopic determinations on mica in Archean pegmatite immediately adjacent to a vein indicate that the transporting solutions were too cool to cause re-equilibration of the Ar within the mica. Sulphur-isotope data indicate equilibrium between galena and sphalerite yielding a depositional temperature range of 35–135 °C, and disequilibrium between sulphide–sulphate pairs. Lead isotopes are highly anomalous, yielding a secondary isochron which indicates either an Archean, or more probably a mixed Archean–Aphebian, source of lead.The deposits formed from metal leached from either basement rocks or breakdown of Sibley sandstone matrix. Metals and sulphate moved through the permeable sandstone, probably as chloride-ion complexes, and precipitated at the sandstone pinch-out. Reduced sulphur, possibly derived from organic decay, and probably held in a gas trap at the sandstone pinch out, caused precipitation of the sulphides by reaction with metal-bearing brines.

The greater Taos trough located in north-central New Mexico represents one of numerous late Paleozoic basins that formed during the Ancestral Rocky Mountains deformation event. The late Paleozoic stratigraphy and basin geometry of the eastern portion of the greater Taos trough, also called the Rainsville trough, is little known because the strata are all in the subsurface. Numerous wells drilled through the late Paleozoic strata provide a scope for investigating subsurface stratigraphy and basin-fill architecture of the Rainsville trough. Lithologic data obtained predominantly from petrophysical well logs combined with available biostratigraphic data from the greater Taos trough allows construction of a chronostratigraphic framework of the basin fill. Isopach- and structure-maps indicate that the sediment depocenter was just east of the El Oro-Rincon uplift and a westerly thickening wedge-shaped basin-fill geometry existed during the Pennsylvanian. These relationships imply that the thrust system on the east side of the Precambrian-cored El Oro-Rincon uplift was active during the Pennsylvanian and segmented the greater Taos trough into the eastern Rainsville trough and the western Taos trough. During the Permian, sediment depocenter(s) shifted more southerly and easterly and strata onlap Precambrian basement rocks of the Sierra Grande uplift to the east and Cimarron arch to the north of the Rainsville trough. Permian strata appear to demonstrate minimal influence by faults that were active during the Pennsylvanian and sediment accumulation occurred both in the basinal area as well as on previous positive-relief highlands. A general Permian decrease in eustatic sea level and cessation of local-fault-controlled subsidence indicates that regional subsidence must have affected the region in the early Permian.
