| Abstract | This map and the related geodatabase illustrate the bedrock geology of central and northeastern Victoria Island, Stefansson Island, and western Prince of Wales Island. Major features of the area include
inliers of Neoarchean basement granitoid rocks; clastic rock-dominated sections associated with the late Paleoproterozoic Kilohigok Basin, and Mesoproterozoic Elu Basin; extensive Meso- and Neoproterozoic strata of Amundsen Basin, diabase sills, and
extrusive basaltic rocks related to the Franklin Large Igneous Province (ca. 723 Ma) and unconformable Cambrian to Devonian strata of Arctic Platform. |
| Summary | (Plain Language Summary, not published)
This map and related digital map files presents our current understanding of the geology of northern Victoria Island and western Prince of Wales Island
in the southern Canadian Arctic Islands, western Nunavut and northern Northwest Territories. Extensive glacial material in this area means that we have a poor understanding of underlying bedrock in some parts of this map. Nevertheless, the area has
some potential for zinc, lead, copper, nickel, platinum group elements and kimberlite; the pipe-like rock body that may contain commercial diamond. |
