The geology, geochemistry and origin of the barite, manganese and lead-zinc-copper-silver deposits of Walton-Cheverie area, Nova Scotia

Myanmar is richly endowed in natural resources that include tin, tungsten, copper, gold, zinc, lead, nickel, and silver, as well as gemstones. The material covered over a nine-day field trip explores the country’s complex geology, which reflects a collisional history stretching from the Late Triassic to at least Miocene, sited at the eastern end of the India-Asia suture. The country can be divided into three principal metallotects: the Wuntho-Popa magmatic arc, with granites and associated porphyry-type and epithermal Cu-Au mineralization; the Slate Belt (also called the Mogok-Mandalay-Mergui Belt), with multiple precollisional I-type and postcollisional S-type crustal melt granites that host significant tin-tungsten mineralization, and which also are host to a number of orogenic gold deposits; and the Shan Plateau with massive sulfide-type and also MVT-style lead-zinc-silver deposits.

Lead Zinc

The 1640 Ma (million years old) Here?s Your Chance (HYC) deposit at McArthur River, Northern Territory, Australia is one of the largest and least metamorphosed lead-zinc-silver deposits in the world. The mineralised interval has been divided into several orebodies and is separated by relatively barren sediment.
