 Gold Potential of the Lynn Lake Greenstone Belt | Mineral Potential Summaries | Geological Survey | Mineral Resources ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The Paleoproterozoic Lynn Lake greenstone belt comprises a diverse tectonostratigraphy in the form of two east-trending supracrustal belts of metavolcanic rocks and subordinate metasedimentary rocks, collectively assigned to the Wasekwan Group (Figure 1).
Both belts are characterized by mafic metavolcanic rocks that represent a wide variety of tectonic affinities, suggesting that the assembly of the greenstone belt involved significant tectonic juxtaposition early in its deformational history.
Most significant is that the gold mineralization in both the northern and southern portions of the greenstone belt is shear–zone-hosted, and the gold mineralization appears to have an epigenetic, syn-shear genesis.
