Bald Mountain Mine Reconstruction for Stock Emplacement
Restoring pre-faulted geometry of the Bald Mountain Stock, NE Nevada
My current project is focused on using restored cross-sections to understand emplacement of the Bald Mountain Stock located in NE Nevada at Bald Mountain Mine. By reconstructing the stock’s original geometry, this work aims to help exploration geologists at Kinross target new deposits within a more constrained structural framework.
