| The Société Minière Raglan du Québec Ltée's Raglan Property is located in the Proterozoic Cape Smith Belt, 1540 kms north of Rouyn-Noranda, Québec. The Ni-Cu-(PGE) ores are hosted by komatiitic peridotites located at the interface between the Povungnituk Group and the Chukotat Group. The Katinniq Ultramafic Complex is part of the Raglan Formation, which is located at the base of the Chukotat sequence of komatiite-peridotite flows.; The ore mineralization in the Katinniq deposit is typically located within footwall embayments and occurs as blebby, disseminated, net-textured, and massive sulphides. The main ore minerals are pyrrhotite, pentlandite, and chalcopyrite. The embayments have been previously interpreted as: paleotopographic features, thermal erosion channels, thermal erosion channels modified by deformation, or the result of structural deformation (faults and folds).* (Abstract shortened by UMI.); *This dissertation is compound (contains both a paper copy and CD as part of the dissertation).
