Geology and crystallization conditions of the Särkiniemi intrusion and related nickel-copper ore, central Finland – implications for depth of emplacement of 1.88 Ga nickel-bearing intrusions [PDF]
Several Ni-Cu deposits occur within the Kotalahti area, central Finland, in proximity to an Archaean gneiss dome surrounded by a Palaeoproterozoic craton-margin supracrustal sequence comprising quartzites, limestones, calc-silicate rocks, black schists ...

Rock magnetic investigations constraining relative timing for gold deposits in Finland [PDF]
Palaeomagnetic and anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) studies were carried out on a orogenic gold deposit in Jokisivu, located in the western part of the Pirkanmaa Belt in the Svecofennian domain of southern Finland.

Hydrogeological Characterization of Crystalline Bedrock Using Borehole Magnetic Resonance
This study is one of the first to test the applicability of the borehole magnetic resonance (BMR) method in crystalline “hard rock” environment. The aim was to investigate whether the BMR measurements could constitute an effective method for investigating detailed permeability variations in the crystalline bedrock of the two study sites: Sakatti mining

Tracing the SW border of the Svecofennian Domain in the Baltic Sea region: evidence from petrology and geochronology from a granodioritic migmatite [PDF]
Geological investigations of a part of the crystalline basement in the Baltic Sea have been performed on a drill core collected from the depth of 1092-1093 m beneath the Phanerozoic sedimentary cover offshore the Latvian/Lithuanian border. The sample was

The Pyhäntaka formation, Southern Finland: A sequence of metasandstones and metavolcanic rocks upon an intra-orogenic unconformity [PDF]
Detrital zircon studies suggest that the few quartzite occurrences in southern Finland are younger than 1.87 Ga and express sedimentation after 1.89–1.87 Ga accretional deformation and metamorphism in the Svecofennian orogenic belt.

Genesis of subglacial triangular‐shaped landforms (murtoos) formed by the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet
Murtoos are primarily depositional subglacial landforms with erosional triangular heads in the direction of the ice flow. They are produced by repeated high meltwater input and varying periodic deformation by the overriding ice. Murtoos represent a semi‐distributed drainage system under high‐pressure conditions where the rapid mobilisation of ...

Supracrustal rocks in the Kuovila area, Southern Finland: Structural evolution, geochemical characteristics and the age of volcanism [PDF]
The supracrustal rocks of the Kuovila area in the Palaeoproterozoic Svecofennian Uusimaa Belt, southern Finland, consist mainly of volcaniclastic rocks associated with banded iron formations (BIFs) and marbles.

Abstract Mineral exploration is facing greater challenges nowadays because of the increasing demand for raw materials and the lesser chance of finding large deposits at shallow depths. To be efficient and address new exploration challenges, high‐resolution and sensitive methods that are cost‐effective and environmentally friendly are required.

Abstract Recent studies have shown that biosignatures of ancient microbial life exist in mineral coatings in deep bedrock fractures of Precambrian cratons, but such surveys have been few and far between. Here, we report results from southwestern Sweden in an area of 1.6–1.5 Ga Paleoproterozoic rocks heavily reworked by the 1.14–0.96 Ga Sveconorwegian ...
