Located within Northern Ontario. Located 400km north of Toronto and
480km NW of Ottawa. Encompasses the Greater City of
Sudbury – Pop: 160,000.
Sudbury Basin Location
7 SPC METALS
One of the largest, oldest and best preserved impact structures on the planet.
Presently and elliptical body measuring 30km by 60km and up to 5km thick.
Canada’s largest mining camp with more than 100yrs. of mining activity.
The Sudbury Nickel Camp is 2nd in the world in terms of contained Nickel.
Sudbury Basin Overview
8 SPC METALS
Proterozoic in age (1.85 Ga) Formed as a direct result of a
meteorite impact. During cooling, dense sulphides
settled to the base of the SIC, pooling in depression along the crater floor
SIC melt sheet was injected into the surrounding country rocks to form Offset Dykes.
Three main types of ore deposits. Contact-hosted
Occur along the base of the SIC in depressions.
Typically Ni-rich, massive sulphide. Footwall-hosted
Occur within the footwall of the SIC. Cu-PGM rich massive sulphide veins.
Offset Dyke-hosted Occur within concentric and radial offset
dyke. Pipe-shaped deposits that contain Ni-Cu-
PGM’s.
Sudbury Basin Geology
9 SPC METALS
Ni first discovered 1883 during the construction of the CPR.
1886 first mine at Copper Cliff 1st smelting in 1889 Inco emerged 1919. Most of the major deposits were discovered
from 1883-1900. Most of these are still in production today.
Falconbridge emerged 1928. Spike in production for both WW1 and WW2. Many of the shallow high-grade deposits were
depleted around 1940. 1969 Creighton #9 Shaft completed to 2,175m
(was the deepest in the world). Inco super stack built in 1970 (380m). Production peaked around 1970. FNX mining enters the scene in 2001. Falconbridge discovers Ni-Rim South. 2006 Inco is acquired by Vale and Falconbridge
by Xstrata. 2013 Glencore merges with Xstrata
Sudbury Basin History
10 SPC METALS
The Sudbury Camp is 2nd in the world in the world in terms of contained Ni behind Noril’sk.
Since the discovery of ore in Sudbury, over 11.1Mt of Ni and 10.8Mt of Cu have been mined.
The wealth generated in terms of nickel and copper at current metal prices is close to $215B US.
The Sudbury Basin is a truly remarkable and a one of a kind ore deposit.
