Mineral exploration and mining employs approximately 400,000 Canadians and generates billions of dollars**for the Canadian economy but the face of mineral exploration and mining in Canada, and around the world, is**changing. There is a rapidly growing focus on advanced mineral exploration and resource development. In**order for Canada to play a leading role in this transdisciplinary sphere, Western University and Yamana Gold**Inc. propose the creation of an NSERC / Yamana Gold Inc. Industrial Research Chair in Advanced Mineral**Exploration. This aligns with industry and government recognition of innovation being central to responsible**resource exploration and extraction. Canada is a world leader in mineral exploration and mining technology,**but discovery of new mineral resources has declined, despite increasing exploration expenditures. Several**aspects of the exploration process need to be improved, including the development of new methodologies and**approaches to efficiently and effectively explore at broad scales and at depth while implementing advanced**exploration and resource development practices informed by science and enabled by technology.**The proposed research program is comprised of overarching themes in the following areas: (Theme 1)**characterization of gold deposits in the Kirkland Lake mining camp; (Theme 2) sources of mineralizing fluids**and metals; and (Theme 3) integrated gold system signatures. Taken together, they will provide an**understanding of the signature(s) and possible genetic relationship(s) between several deposits across the**Kirkland Lake mining camp while applying new, cutting edge analytical techniques and technologies to**improve exploration efficiency and effectiveness. These results will provide a knowledge-based foundation for**the development of practical models and exploration vectors to gold mineralization, unlock value in large**datasets, and improve exploration success.

矿产勘探和采矿业雇用了大约 40 万加拿大人，为加拿大经济创造了数十亿美元**，但加拿大和世界各地的矿产勘探和采矿业的面貌正在发生变化。人们对先进矿产勘探和资源开发的关注迅速增长。为了让加拿大在这个跨学科领域发挥领导作用，西方大学和亚马纳黄金公司。提议设立 NSERC / Yamana Gold Inc. 高级矿物**勘探工业研究主席。这与行业和政府认识到创新是负责任的**资源勘探和开采的核心相一致。加拿大在矿产勘探和采矿技术方面处于世界领先地位，**但尽管勘探支出不断增加，但新矿产资源的发现量却有所下降。勘探过程的几个**方面需要改进，包括开发新的方法和**方法，以便在广泛和深入的范围内高效和有效地勘探，同时实施以科学为依据并由科学推动的先进**勘探和资源开发实践。 **拟议的研究计划由以下领域的总体主题组成：（主题 1）**柯克兰湖采矿营地金矿床的特征； （主题2）矿化流体**和金属的来源； （主题3）集成黄金系统签名。总而言之，他们将提供**对柯克兰湖采矿营地多个矿床之间的特征和可能的遗传关系的理解，同时应用新的、尖端的分析技术和技术来**提高勘探效率和有效性。这些结果将为**开发金矿化实用模型和勘探向量提供知识基础，释放大型**数据集的价值，并提高勘探成功率。
