| Summary: | This thesis presents a structural, mineralogical and alteration study of the Henderson copper orebodies, located in the Chibougamau region of Quebec. The orebodies were discovered early in 1956 as the result of drilling two holes on an electromagnetic anomaly. Approximately 90,000 feet of drilling in 1957 outlined some 4,750,000 tons of ore with an average grade of 2.01% copper, 0.057 ounces of gold per ton and with small amounts of nickel and cobalt. A road and causeway have been constructed to the site and shaft sinking is now in progress. |
