Structural and Stratigraphic Controls on Gold Mineralization, Ulu Project, High Lake Greenstone Belt, Nunavut, Canada

The intern will determine which factors determine the distribution of gold at the Ulu gold project, in NW Nunavut Canada. This will be accomplished by geologic mapping and examination of drill core at the Ulu site during two summer field seasons. Samples and data collected in the field will be returned to Laurentian University and examined using petrographic microscope and scanning electron microprobes as well as preparation of a geologic map and cross section focused on the structural geologic framework of the deposit. The partner Blue Star Gold will benefit from this research through an improved understanding on the distribution of gold within the Ulu deposit and the geologic events which resulted in this distribution. This will help the partner in exploration at the deposit and surrounding areas.
