Sulphide deposits of the Hanson Lake area

This thesis embodies a field and laboratory study of the sulphide deposits of the Hanson Lake area, northern Saskatchewan. The field mapping of the mineralized showings indicated none, or very little, lithologie control of sulphide emplacement but there is some structural control by fractures, slips...
