Description

Polymetallic mineral deposits within intraplate continental settings are typically associated with late-stage, highly evolved, lithophile enriched granitic magmas. Granitic magma evolution enables metals such as tungsten, molybdenum, and tin to concentrate in late-stage melts and hydrothermal fluids, prior to deposition as disseminations, breccia infill, stockworks, and massive quartz-vein systems along the upper margins of high-level plutons. This fieldtrip will visit two areas with granite-related polymetallic mineralization located northwest of Fredericton within the Devonian Acadian Plutonic Belt. The Sisson tungsten-molybdenum deposit, located along the eastern margin of the Nashwaak Granite, represents one of Canada’s largest tungsten resources (334 Mt; 0.066% WO3 and 0.021% Mo) and is expected to supply 5% of the world’s tungsten once operations commence. The field trip will visit several trenches and spoils at the Sisson deposit, where participants can examine outcrops with vein mineralization (scheelite, wolframite, molybdenite, and chalcopyrite) as well as contacts between associated intrusive suites and metasedimentary and metavolcanic host rocks. The trip will also include a description of the surficial geology, glacial history and recent TGI-4/DEM surface geochemical methodology of the Sisson area. Three generations of glacial till have been identified in the Sisson Brook area. The lowest, only locally preserved, was formed by east-southeast glacier flow prior to the Wisconsinan. It is now assigned to the Northumberland Phase of the Illinoian Stage. The middle till was deposited by southeast glacier flow during the Caledonia Phase (Early–Middle Wisconsinan), and locally reworked into a hybrid till by later, weaker, Middle to Late Wisconsinan ice-flow events, all under the continuous cover of the Appalachian Glacier Complex. The geochemistry of both of the above tills reflects the mineralization of the underlying bedrock at Sisson. Locally, these tills are overlain by greater than one metre of till formed by westward readvance of the Gaspereau Ice Centre during the Younger Dryas Stadial at the end of the Late Wisconsinan (Collins Pond Phase). This Collins Pond till largely masks the mineralization in the underlying till and bedrock at Sisson Brook. Mineralization at the Zealand Station beryllium-tungsten-molybdenum prospect, located along the northeastern cusp of the multiphase Pokiok Batholith, consists of beryl, scheelite, wolframite, and molybdenum within pegmatitic pods, associated with greisen, and as disseminations within various phases of the Hawkshaw Granite. Blue beryl (aquamarine) crystals, up to 4 cm in length and 2 cm in diameter, are clear to milky, light to medium blue, and are commonly euhedral to subhedral. Although all the crystals found on the property to date have microfractures, it has been suggested that gem quality aquamarine crystals may occur beneath the zone of deep weathering.
