Contents

This Open File presents new 40Ar/39Ar hornblende and biotite analyses for forty-six plutonic and pelitic samples in the southern part of the Rae Craton, Northwest Territories (NWT). Detailed mapping and sampling for 40Ar/39Ar thermochronology was carried out as part of Natural Resources Canada’s Geomapping for Energy and Minerals (GEM-II) South Rae project. Age determinations were carried out in the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) Noble Gas Laboratory facility in Ottawa, Ontario.
