 AbstractThis is an overview of the Kidd Creek Mine identifying the location of the deposit, geologicorigin, the structural geology of the deposit, geochemistry that makes the deposit unique butrelates it to nearby sulfide deposits, and an examination of the minerals from the MTU KiddCreek Suite. The major sulfide minerals in the deposit are mainly pyrite, chalcopyrite, andsphalerite. Other minerals are bornite, covellite, digenite, stromeyerite, pyrrhotite, marcasite,galena, aresenopyrite, and silver. X-ray diffraction was conducted on several samples in thesuite and results presented herein. One sulfide in the suite was breaking down into a sulfateand was addressed in more detail. Several reflected light images of polished sections arereviewed to emphasize the complexity of the deposit.
Geographic Location:
The Kidd Creek Mine is located 22 kilometers north of 
Timmins, Ontario, Canada at latitude 48°41’23.70” N and longitude 81°22’17.96 W at an
