Structural and geochronological constraints on orogenic gold mineralization in the western Wabigoon subprovince, Canada

Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences, Ahead of Print.Some of the world’s largest orogenic gold deposits are hosted within granite-greenstone subprovinces of the Superior Province of Canada. The known gold endowment of the western Wabigoon subprovince is much less than that of the Abitibi subprovince, despite both Neoarchean subprovinces sharing similar structural and metallogenic histories. Further, the relationship between regional deformation and orogenic gold mineralizing events in the we
