| Abstract/Notes | Lead isotopes in nickel sulfides from seven deposits in the Thompson Belt appear to record events of four distinct ages. The earliest and most prominent of these may represent the emplacement of the nickel ores and their ultramafic hosts.Typical massive and disseminated low-lead nickeliferous sulfides were selected for analysis, and several partitioning techniques were used in order to obtain information about the range of isotope ratios in different phases and fractions of the samples. The data were interpreted in terms of the isotopic systematics discussed by Gale and Mussett.Data from four deposits produce two well defined, parallel "primary" isochrons whose calculated mean slope corresponds to an age of 2320 ± 30 Ma. Interpretation of this date as the time of emplacement of the nickel deposits and their ultramafic hosts is consistent with geological evidence that points to a post-Archean, pre-Hudsonian age. The 2320 Ma date may be consistent, within probable error limits, with the age inferred from Rb/Sr data (2100 Ma) for deposition of metasedimentary rocks of the Thompson Belt, into which the ultramafic lenses were intruded (Brooks and Theyer).The other isotopically recorded events occurred at 2015 ± 15 Ma (possibly early folding of the Thompson Belt supracrustal rocks), 1620 ± 25 Ma (probably a late retrograde stage of the Hudsonian Orogeny), and 1125 ± 60 Ma (possibly a thermal event associated with emplacement of the Mackenzie dyke swarm). |
