Will we ever submit that manuscript? Working on it 😉! Massive sulphides from a showing near East Fiord, #AxelHeibergIsland, Nunavut, photographed in reflected light and hand sample. Pentlandite, pyrite, magnetite, all the good stuff. #CriticalMinerals #HALIP #ThinSectionThursday

BSE images of a basalt clast from sample 2016Oden-D3, Alpha Ridge, Arctic Ocean, a volcanic breccia formed as the result of magma-water interaction 90 my ago. Think Kilauea lava bench deposit! Image B at yellow dot on A. #ThinSectionThursday #UNCLOS

Detailed mineralogical study of the Roof Zone recovered by drilling the Muskox East DDH. Think of it as the “messy chilled margin” of the Muskox M-UM layered intrusion. BSE images of sulphide-rich core samples show the expected enrichment in accessory minerals. #CMGDMackenzieLIP #Thinsectionthursday

A snapshot of the scientific questions driving our new collaborative project on the Ni-Cu-PGE prospectivity of the #MackenzieLIP, #Nunavut. #CriticalMinerals

Hope locates itself in the premises that we don’t know what will happen and that in the spaciousness of uncertainty is room to act.

Massive sulphides from the early pulse of the #HALIP on #AxelHeibergIsland, Nunavut, photographed in reflected light and hand sample. Hosted in relict, sulphide-rich “chimneys” formed in the vicinity of evaporite structures. #CriticalMinerals #ThinSectionThursday

Something for my first #thinsectionthursday on Bluesky that illustrates our #GEM / #CMGD project on the Muskox intrusion roof rocks. BSE images of the messy, sulphide-rich chilled margin in the Muskox East DDH. Next: Cu - Fe isotopic analyses downhole in support of a PhD project. #CriticalMinerals
