Quaternary geology
The understanding of indicator-mineral dispersal in glacial sediments has led to the discovery of numerous mineral sources in Canada. With the advent of automated analysis methods developed by IOS Geosciences, the interpretation of mineral dispersal has reached a new level of complexity, notably by characterizing the signature of minerals from different deposits.
Our ability to discriminate details makes it possible to tackle terrains characterized by a complex glacial history, all too often the main obstacle to discovering the source of minerals of interest.
Through interpreting the sedimentary layers by our Quaternary geologists, applying 3D modeling, and relying on the high quality of our mineralogical data, IOS Geosciences can deconstruct the complex succession of glacial flows and thus trace the source of minerals.
This technique has proved its worth in otherwise impenetrable environments, such as the northern Abitibi clay belt, leading to a variety of discoveries.
