Emplacement of sulfide-rich quartz-diorite melts in the Whistle-Parkin Dike of the Sudbury Igneous Complex, Canada

A field-based structural study including surface mapping, construction of geological profiles, drill core logging complemented by petrographic and microstructural analyses was conducted on the Whistle-Parkin Offset Dike and its Paleoproterozoic host rocks. The study was aimed at elucidating the cause for the variation in the dike's sulfide content and, thus, to contribute to process-oriented exploration strategies of sulfide and PGE …
