چکیده
Stikine Terrane arc rocks in the re,:ion host !;(m:ral copper-gold and copper-molybdenum ocnlwerlces (MINFILE 104 G and H). The volcrrnic strat.i,:raphy hosting these deposits is, however, poorly const:aimd. The Tatogga Lake project will attemp; to characterize individual deposits, desclibe their h a 1 and rcgictnal stratigraphic and structural settings, and deternme the ages of magmatism and associated alteration.. The lithogeochemical character of the volcanic and associated plutonic rocks will be documented. This report introduces the p~oject area and discusses preliminary results obtained during fieldwork conducted from August Xth to Septellber 26th which was restricted to the eastern half of the projm area Results of 1:20 000-scale mapping, will be r:le;lsec. following mapping in the western sector wl~ich i:; planned for the 1995 field program.
