The Wawa gold corridor is an area to the east of Wawa, Ontario that is being explored for gold by Red PineExploration Inc. The corridor has been the site of numerous small gold mines in the past, but holdsconsiderable potential for further development. The type of gold deposit in this area is similar to many in otherparts of Canada and the questions faced by Red Pine are typical of those for other exploration companies, themost important of which is why gold grades are high in some areas and low in others. This research willaddress that question by examining the rocks in the Wawa gold corridor and assessing the reasons for goldenrichment using a variety of types of chemical analysis. These investigations will help Red Pine focus theirexploration efforts on areas that have favourable characteristics for enhanced gold grades and will allow themto more effectively utilize the geochemical data that they routinely collect. The Wawa system has someunusual characteristics compared to many other similar gold systems and the research will understand thesignificance of this and the potential implications for other deposits in Canada.

瓦瓦黄金走廊是安大略省瓦瓦以东的一个地区，红松勘探公司 (Red Pine Exploration Inc) 正在勘探黄金。该走廊过去曾是许多小型金矿的所在地，但具有相当大的进一步开发潜力。该地区的金矿类型与加拿大其他地区的许多金矿类型相似，Red Pine 面临的问题也是其他勘探公司面临的典型问题，其中最重要的是为什么有些地区的金品位高而另一些地区的金品位低。这项研究将通过检查瓦瓦黄金走廊的岩石并使用各种类型的化学分析来评估黄金富集的原因来解决这个问题。这些调查将帮助 Red Pine 将勘探工作重点放在具有提高黄金品位的有利特征的地区，并使他们能够更有效地利用日常收集的地球化学数据。与许多其他类似的黄金系统相比，瓦瓦系统具有一些不寻常的特征，研究将了解这一点的重要性以及对加拿大其他矿床的潜在影响。
