Model of mineralization related to cauldron facies syenite in the Pelly Mountains
The Mississippian volcanic rocks and associated mineralization in the Pelly Mountains were studied by J. Morin during 1979 and 1980. Alkaline and calc-alkaline Mississippian volcanic rocks lie above Paleozoic platform strata of carbonate, volcanic and minor fine-grained clastic rocks. The volcanic belt can be divided into four facies designated by lithology. A model is proposed here that relates cauldron facies geology to the associated mineralization.
