Sediment-hosted deposits are the main source of zinc and lead. In this volume, the reader will find the most recent developments in research including: - Fluid migration leading to formation of Zn-Pb ores in sedimentary basins. Relationships to orogenic events and to geothermic anomalies - Transport of metals and precipitation mechanisms. The role played by fluid mixing, fluid-rock reaction, organic matter, and thiosulfates - Paleomagnetic dating of ore deposits - The association of Mississippi Valley-type ore deposits to diapiric salt structures - Geochemical investigations applied to exploration for sediment-hosted Zn-Pb deposits - Economic aspects. The broad geographical coverage is an additional aspect which will interest both researchers and explorationists.

The area described in this report is located in the area of the Selwyn Valley, between the Selwyn and Mackenzie mountains on the Yukon-Northwest Territories border. The main section details the stratigraphy of the area and describes 27 mappable units, from the Upper Proterozoic to Carboniferous & recent volcanics, in four different facies zones, including ten new formations. This is followed by description of the area's three main structural domains, plus brief descriptions of intrusive rocks and regional metamorphism. The final section describes mineral occurrences and assesses the potential for economic deposits. The appendix contains paleontological identifications of specimens collected.
