The geology of the Orvan Brook sulphide deposit, Restigouche County, New Brunswick

Abstract: The Orvan Brook area lies on the northwest limb of a large northeasterly plunging anticlinorium that contains volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Middle Ordovician Tetagouche Group. The host rocks in ascending order are quartz and feldspar augen-schists, iron-formation, s ericite schist, graphite schist, argillite and gr eywacke, and meta-ande site. The massive sulphide zone is coextensive with the sericite schist or occurs at the contact of the sericite schist and the overlying graphitic schist. It has a ma… Show more

“…The Orvan Brook deposit (Tupper 1969) is of some interest because it occurs as a steeply dipping thin sulfide lens (max. thickness 5 m) almost 2000 m long, lying either within a quartz sericite schist or at its contact with an overlying graphitic schist.…”

“…2) was found by a prospector from Nevada, Mr. Dan Sheahan, who was working for the Tetagouche Exploration Company (Wright 1939;Martin 2003). The company drilled 28 holes, outlining a deposit at least 1900 m in strike length, and demonstrated for the first time that massive sulphide occurs in the Bathurst area (Tupper 1969).…”
