Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) are huge volume, short duration volcanic/intrusive events that occur every 20-30 million years and rival plate tectonics in importance. LIPs have become an important research focus because they help reveal the configuration of ancient (Pre-Pangea) supercontinents, provide insights into volcanism on other planets, caused dramatic climate change including mass extinctions throughout Earth history, and are growing in importance as a tool for finding new ore and also oil/gas deposits.This new LIP project promises our Industry Partners a dramatic expansion of the LIPs record with application to resource exploration for a wide range of commodity types: from igneous hosted Ni-Cu-PGE districts, gold hosted orogenic belts and sedimentary basins that host uranium, base metals, gold and petroleum. This new 2018-2022 LIPs Project builds on our 2010-2015 and 2016-2017 Industry-supported projects, and comprises 5 themes: paleomagnetism, geochemistry, U-Pb geochronology, geospatial data consolidation and data processing and LIP architecture.This research will benefit Canadian companies because resource exploration is a global effort, and targeting insights developed in any region using the LIP record can have wide applicability elsewhere, including within Canada. Also, in ancient supercontinents the distribution of crustal regions was much different than at present.So an important prospecting tool is to trace important ore deposits into other crustal blocks that were formerly adjacent. Canada hosts many of the largest crustal blocks, and so many ore deposit bearing belts can potentially be traced into Canada from formerly adjacent regions.

大型火成岩省 (LIP) 是指体积巨大、持续时间短的火山/侵入事件，每 20-3000 万年发生一次，其重要性可与板块构造相媲美。 LIP 已成为一个重要的研究焦点，因为它们有助于揭示古代（前盘古大陆）超级大陆的构造，提供对其他行星上火山活动的见解，引起剧烈的气候变化，包括整个地球历史上的大规模灭绝，并且作为一种工具的重要性与日俱增。寻找新的矿石以及石油/天然气矿床。这个新的 LIP 项目向我们的行业合作伙伴承诺，将大幅扩展 LIP 记录，并将其应用于多种商品类型的资源勘探：来自火成岩的 Ni-Cu-PGE地区、黄金蕴藏着造山带和沉积盆地，蕴藏着铀、贱金属、黄金和石油。这个新的 2018-2022 LIPs 项目建立在我们 2010-2015 和 2016-2017 年行业支持项目的基础上，包括 5 个主题：古地磁、地球化学、U-Pb 地质年代学、地理空间数据整合和数据处理以及 LIP 架构。这项研究将受益加拿大公司，因为资源勘探是一项全球性工作，使用 LIP 记录在任何地区开发的针对性见解都具有广泛的适用性其他地方，包括加拿大境内。此外，在古代超大陆中，地壳区域的分布与现在有很大不同。因此，一个重要的勘探工具是将重要的矿床追踪到以前相邻的其他地壳块中。加拿大拥有许多最大的地壳块，因此许多矿藏带可能从以前的邻近地区追溯到加拿大。
