1 Greenland Day: Nickel potential in Greenland Bo Møller Stensgaard, Marco Fiorentini *, Jochen Kolb, Leon Bagas * Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) * Centre of Exploration Targeting, UWA Perth, Australia, December 4, 2012 With acknowledgements to members and observers in the BMP-GEUS Mineral Assessment Workshop 2012 on potential for undiscovered nickel deposits in Greenland and and special thanks to: M. Zientek, USGS; A. Steenfelt, GEUS; 21stNorth; Avannaa Resources
2 Nickel Assessment Workshop Potential nickel mineralising environments What do stream sediment data tell us Examples on areas with potential for undiscovered nickel deposits Summary Proterozoic Elenore Bay Supergroup, NE Greenland host of several Cu occurrences
3 BMP-GEUS workshop Assessment of undiscovered nickel deposits in Greenland within the first one kilometre of the crust November 27 29, 2012 Expert panel 19 members Nickel deposit experts from CET and USGS Economic and regional geologist Company, Survey and Academic; international 15 observers All data, maps, information, etc. is assessed and discussed Bids on number of undiscovered nickel deposits in certain areas in Greenland that are found to be geological permissive for nickel mineralisation at different confidence levels Standard 3-Part Assessment procedure Former workshops have been carried out for sedimentary-hosted Copper and Zinc-Lead deposits Mineral Assessment Workshops (MAW) will continued in the years to come would you like to participate?
4 Globally distribution vs. Greenland Maier & Groves 2010 Distribution of magmatic PGE ( ) and Ni-Cu ( ) deposits worldwide. Shaded areas is Archaean crust. Outlines of cratons amalgamated during the Proterozoic are from Bleeker (2003).
5 Three deposit types assessed Komatiite-hosted nickel Kambalda, Mt. Keith, Perseverance deposits Sill- or dyke-hosted nickel conduit style Noril sk, Taknakh, Voisey s Bay deposits Intrusion-hosted nickel contact style Duluth complex deposits (not presented here) Means of the deposit types that were assessed for based on global deposit inventory Deposit type Ore tonnage [mt] Nickel grade [%] Copper grade [%] Global number deposits Kambalda Komatiiteperidotite type low 51 Noril sk Conduit-type Duluth Contact-type M. Zientek, 2012 Noril sk massive nickel ore, M. Zientek, 2012
6 Nickel Assessment Workshop Potential nickel mineralising environments What do stream sediment data tell us Examples on areas with potential for undiscovered nickel deposits Summary Proterozoic Elenore Bay Supergroup, NE Greenland host of several Cu occurrences
7 Kambalda Komatiite-style ~ km 2 permissive geology Archaean and (minor) Palaeoproterozoic supracrustal and mafic-ultramafic units Archaean craton areas Palaeoproterozoic reworked areas Putting it all together km
8 Putting it all together Mineral System Approach Scale dependency of targeting elements for mafic intrusion-hosted Ni mineral system McCuaig et al., 2010
9 Zig-Zag Dal Flood basalts Noril sk Conduit-style ~ km 2 flood basalt Three flood basalt regions Even larger regions with potential West Greenland Flood basalt province Manitsoq norite belt Fiskenæsset Gardar dykes Tasiilaq norites 400 km East Greenland Flood basalt province Numerous larger magmatic systems and voluminous sill-dyke swarms throughout Greenland with no direct link to flood basalts Workshop concluded: more time is needed to assess the swarms and larger magmatic systems not directly associated with flood basalt regions much more to do! Putting it all together...
10 Noril sk Conduit-style what needs to be present There are sills, and, there are sills. Zientek, 2012 Magmatic Hosted by mafic to ultramafic rocks Occur in small intrusions (areas are 10s km 2 ) Intrusions have irregular shape Usually part of a large magmatic system 100s of intrusions, sill and dike complexes, plutonic complexes, large volcanic fields can be nearby Magmatic complex not clearly associated with a particular plate margin interaction Open systems, multiple magma influx Large throughput of heat and matter Excellent place to accumulate minor phases (sulphides) Undifferentiated sheets Differentiated chonolith (tubes) Zientek, 2012
11 So what about scale M. Zientek, 2012

14 GEUS stream sediment geochemistry data - Agnete Steenfelt, GEUS Samples from second to third order streams. The <0.1 mm grain size fraction analysed for major and trace elements. BMP contributed to data acquisition. Nickel determined by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (l.l.d. ~50 ppm) or inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry (l.l.d. ~10 ppm) or instrumental neutron activation (l.l.d. ~200 ppm) Location of ~10000 stream sediment samples One regional dataset that can be used to support decisions on potential for undiscovered nickel deposits A.
