41 Bird River Belt ~ current exploration for base metals and PGE
42 Summary Neoarchean Bird River Belt consists of arc-type rocks that were deposited on the margins of a flanking continental terrane. Arc-type components include tholeiitic, calc-alkaline and MORB-type basalts. Tectonic setting is continental arc seismic data suggest the BRB rests on continental lithosphere. Volcanic rocks primarily intermediate to felsic (not bimodal type sequence) due to influence of continental lithosphere underplating. Progression from subduction to an extensional tectonic setting is documented in the BRB from North to South panels. Current active mineral exploration for base-metals and PGE is focused on Bird River Sill and related intrusions, as well as MORB-type basalt formations. New sources for rare-element pegmatites akin to Tanco deposit are also being sought.
