AbstractWithin a corridor spanning Heninga, Carr, Kaminak, and Quartzite lakes, the Archean Kaminak greenstone belt (western Churchill Province, Northwest Territories) is composed of discontinuous segments of volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks. These range in composition from mafic to felsic, with an important intermediate component, and are accompanied by voluminous debris flows and siliciclastic rocks (Kaminak Group). These supracrustal rocks are cut by large synvolcanic to late syntectonic diorite to granodiorite plutons. The principal map-scale deformation structure is a layer-parallel S1 foliation with a steeply plunging extension lineation. Post-S1 deformation structures are discontinuous, and therefore are difficult to correlate at map scale. The Kaminak Group appears to contain the remnants of a magmatic arc.
