Figure 37. North America interpreted, EagleEye enhanced seismic tomography at 300 km depth with mining fields overlain.

North America Formation and Mineralisation, AusIMM webinar part 6. Research using EagleEye enhancement showing structural geology from the surface to 2,850 km depth.

This is the EagleEye enhanced plan of the 300 km depth seismic tomography.
North American geology is still very brittle at 300 km depth. How can this be possible as we are supposed to be in the middle of the mobile upper mantle? There is a lot of detailed structural geology seen.
If by using this detailed structural geology we can crack why these huge mines are there and what structural geology they follow we will have an exploration plan for finding new fields, in this area and elsewhere in the world!

The Abitibi belt is one of North America’s largest producers of gold, copper, silver lead zinc and nickel. It would be fantastic to find a new one! The aim of this research is to try and define areas in which to explore, based on sound structural geology evidence.
