Abstract:

During the 2011 field season, lithostratigraphic mapping was undertaken within the McLeod Road-Birch Lake thrust panel near the town of Snow Lake, Manitoba. The objective of the 2011 field season was to outline and define early regional structure through the repetition of structure by folding or thrusting, which would have implications on the understanding of gold mineralization at the New Britannia mine. Stratigraphy was defined across the upper portion of the thrust panel, which was then correlated across three transects to the east of Snow Lake. The transects covered a strike length of 3 km and no repetition of units was observed. This work suggests that the upper portion of the McLeod Road-Birch Lake thrust panel represents a homoclinal sequence that consistently youngs to the north.
