Volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposits are critical sources of metals with Canada contributing signficant zinc, lead, copper, gold, and silver to the Canadian and global market from these deposits. This project will focus on understanding the host rocks and ores in the Kudz Ze Kayah VMS deposits, Yukon Territory. These deposits represent significant undeveloped northern resources and the research will focus on utilizing field relationships from rocks, their textures, and types, coupled with rock chemistry, mineral chemistry, and various isotopes to decipher how the deposits formed and to create field, chemical, and mineralogical tools that can be utilized to find similar deposits in the Yukon, but also globally. In addition to providing fundamental and applied science, the project will support two PhD students and a number of BSc students, who will be trained in field and laboratory methods, and mentored by university, government, and industry partners such that at the end of their training they will have skills that can directly contribute to the Canadian mining and mineral exploration industry.

火山块状硫化物 (VMS) 矿床是加拿大的重要金属来源，这些矿床为加拿大和全球市场提供了大量的锌、铅、铜、金和银。该项目将重点了解育空地区 Kudz Ze Kayah VMS 矿床的主岩和矿石。这些矿床代表了北方未开发的重要资源，研究将侧重于利用岩石、其纹理和类型的场关系，结合岩石化学、矿物化学和各种同位素来破译沉积物的形成方式，并创建场、化学和化学物质。矿物学工具可用于在育空地区乃至全球范围内寻找类似的矿床。除了提供基础科学和应用科学之外，该项目还将支持两名博士生和一些理学士学位生，他们将接受现场和实验室方法方面的培训，并受到大学、政府和行业合作伙伴的指导，以便在他们的研究结束时培训后，他们将拥有可以直接为加拿大采矿和矿产勘探行业做出贡献的技能。
