Geology Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The iron ranges exposed in the Goudreau area are presumably a single, once continuous, iron formation that has been folded, faulted and tectonically thickened. Several of the separate iron ranges are considered to be limbless folds. The Michipicoten iron range occurs at the contact betweeen the intermediate to felsic metavolcanics of cycle 1 and the intermediate to mafic metavolcanics of cycle two. The iron formation becomes thinner and the carbonate facies disappers as as one moves eastward towards the Kapuskasing Structural zone and presumably to a deeper crustal intercept of the stratigraphy which is tilted to the west. The occurrence lies within the northern domain of the Goudreau Lake Deformation Zone. This domain is located immediately south of the Maskinonge Lake sock and is composed of brittle to brittle-ductile high-strain zones. The occurrence is interpreted to be an isolated fold nose of an anticlinal structure which may plunge east or west.
