| Abstract | Archean granodiorite gneiss within a complex of granitic rocks are the oldest rocks in the area. Above these are rocks of Aphebian age - a siliceous carbonate unit disconformably overlain by a
succession of ironformation, greywacke and siltstone. Diabase and gabbro sills intrude the sedimentary rocks. Drift cover is widespread and extensive us e was made of aeromagnetic data to extend geological observations. No economic mineral d e posits
were noted but there are indications of iron-formation and copper. |
