Halfmile mine

The Halfmile Mine is located in northern New Brunswick, Canada, approximately 60 kilometres southwest of Bathurst and 40 kilometres from the Brunswick 12 Mine in the Bathurst Mining Camp. The property consists of 73 claims and covers an area of 1,104 hectares.

The Halfmile Deposit contains four sulphide zones: Upper, Lower, Deep and North. The deposit is a volcanic-sediment-hosted massive sulphide deposit and is one of over 45 massive sulphide deposits in the Bathurst Mining Camp. Rocks are of Ordovician age and have undergone a complex history of polyphase folding and faulting. The deposit is structurally overlain by rhyolitic and dacitic rocks as well as disconformable quartz-wackes and pelites. To the footwall of the massive sulphide package are alkali basalts and thin bedded feldspathic wacke/shales. Rocks have been metamorphosed to the greenschist facies. The entire package of rocks has been stratigraphically over turned.
