Do base metal sulphides present as a specific/unique and distinguishable geophysical in different host rocks?
Red Dog Mine is one of the largest zinc mines in the world, located in the remote region of Northwest Alaska, approximately 90 miles north of Kotzebue and 55 miles from the Chukchi Sea. In addition to zinc, the mine produces lead and has associated silver by products.
The Myrtle Mine, located in the Northern Territory of Australia, is a sediment-hosted massive sulfide (SHMS) type, similar to the nearby McArthur River deposit, and is known for its significant zinc and lead deposits.
Both Red Dog and Myrtle are important parts of Australia's and USA's respective mining landscape, contributing to each country's status as a leading global producer of zinc and lead.
Adrok have been fortunate enough to have surveyed both zinc and lead sites. Here's a copy of our key findings.
