This technical deep-dive for structural geologists, ore prospectors, and specialists in tectonics analyzes epithermal gold deposits like Faille B through the lens of geochemical surveys, ML and AI, and modern techniques of exploration. The geological framework of Northern Haiti corresponds to a Meso-Cenozoic volcanic arc characterized by volcanic tuffs and lavas ranging from dacite to rhyolite embedded in mafic andesites and basalts (Valls, 2004, 2019). Mineralization in these systems is typically associated with porphyritic facies and silicified zones, with gold appearing as native metal or fine disseminations in sulfide zones that often form secondary concentrations in oxidized caps (Valls, 2016, 2019). Resource estimates for the Douvray deposit indicate a substantial bulk tonnage of 189.5 million tonnes at 0.3% copper, which remains open at depth and provides a significant target for the geological community (Bosc & Barrie, 2013). Furthermore, the Faille B prospect represents a low-sulfidation epithermal Au-Ag quartz vein deposit situated along a major northwest-striking fault zone, highlighting the critical role of structural control and lineament analysis in Hispaniola's metallogenic evolution (Nelson et al., 2011; Valls, 2004). With Haiti's untouched mineral wealth potentially exceeding $20 billion, this video helps both junior and senior geologists integrate historical United Nations data with advanced compositional data analysis and high-resolution geophysical surveys (MINING.com, 2012; Technical Assessment, 2023; Valls, 2004).
