dc.description.abstract	Ore specimens from the cupriferous zone of the basal Nonesuch shale at the White Pine Mine were analysed for sulphur isotopes, carbon and sulphide contents and boron. The results of the analyses were discussed in relation to a biogenic-syngenetic mineralization process for the ore body. A model, based on the δS³⁴sulphide frequency distribution, was developed to determine the δS³⁴ sulphate value of the lower Nonesuch paleoenvironment. A transmitted light microscopic examination of chlorite was undertaken in order to present a more complete picture of this proposed source for copper in the cupriferous zone of the Nonesuch shale.	en_US
