Contents
_________________________

To better understand the indicator mineral signature of VMS deposits in surficial sediments, a suite of bedrock and till samples from down-ice of the Izok Lake Zn-Cu-Pb-Ag VMS deposit, western Nunavut was collected and analyzed. Chalcopyrite, sphalerite, galena, pyrite, gahnite, staurolite, and loellingite were investigated as potential indicator minerals to characterize the Izok Lake mineralization; the results are reported in this open file.
