The Pine Point lead-zinc deposits, N.W.T., Canada ; introduction and paleoecology of the Presqu'ile reef

S. A. Jackson, and R. E. Folinsbee

The deposits, with known reserves of 42,500,000 tons averaging 7 percent Zn and 2.6 percent Pb, occupy a 20 by 4 mile belt of barrier carbonate reef of Middle Devonian age, separating a northern shale basin from a southern evaporite basin. Sphalerite and galena, mostly deposited in open cavities and vugs, are the only ore minerals; marcasite, pyrite, calcite, and dolomite are the gangue. Dissolution of evaporites apparently played an important role in development of porosity along initial sedimentary trends and solution-prone strata.
