Ian Honsberger -Orogenic gold systems of Newfoundland Canada: making and breaking rocks through time

Joining us this week on geohug is Ian Honsberger from the Geological Survey of Canada to chat with us about Orogenic Gold Systems of Newfoundland, Canada: Making and Breaking Rocks Through Time.
Paleozoic terranes in the Canadian Appalachians are bounded and cut by deep-reaching fault zones that host orogenic gold systems. In central Newfoundland, such fault systems extend for more than 400 km northeast-southwest. The scale of faulting and patterns of structurally controlled gold mineralization in central Newfoundland resemble world-class orogenic gold systems globally.
