Book Description

This report summarizes observations & structural data collected in the area of the Walker Lake shear zone in the Committee Bay supracrustal belt, central Nunavut. It first reviews the general geology of the metasedimentary & volcanic rocks of the Prince Albert group and the intrusive rocks (tonalite, granite) which were observed in the shear zone. It then describes the three generations of ductile structures that were identified in proximity to the shear zone, and offers some preliminary interpretations regarding the relationship of the shear zone to regional deformation.

Book Description

This paper presents results from uranium-lead dating of plutonic, volcanic, & sedimentary rocks from the Southern Indian Lake to Granville Lake area of northern Manitoba. The samples analyzed were collected from a range of tectonostratigraphic settings and provide constraints on the age of volcanism & sedimentation in the Rusty Lake Belt, on the deposition of fluvial to littoral facies sediments in the Partridge Breast Belt, and on the emplacement of orthogneiss and plutonic rocks.

Book Description

Komatiite units dominate Archean volcanic successions in the Laughland Lake and Walker Lake map areas of the Committee Bay region, central Nunavut. This study describes results of regional & local mapping of some well-preserved komatiite sequences in those areas, particularly in the Laughland Lake area where the majority of the better-preserved komatiite units are found. Structural & stratigraphic relationships are also discussed.
