Geology, Beekman Peninsula (south), Baffin Island, Nunavut, NTS 25-P (south) and NTS 15-M (part) / [authors, H.M. Steenkamp, C. Gilbert, and M.R. St-Onge]. : M183-1/267-2015E-PDF

"The Hall Peninsula Integrated Geoscience Program was led by the Canada-Nunavut Geoscience Office, and was designed to increase geoscience knowledge and assess the economic potential of the area. Eastern Hall Peninsula is mostly underlain by Archean tonalite to quartz-diorite orthogneiss, while Paleoproterozoic supracrustal and intrusive rocks are exposed to the west. The supracrustal rocks comprise pelitic, psammitic, amphibolite and calc-silicate units, are interpreted as correlative with the Lake Harbour Group, and are cut by granulite-grade monzogranite to diorite intrusions. Hall Peninsula records 3 phases of deformation associated with the Trans-Hudson Orogen that have produced thick-skinned, east-verging fold and thrust structures and amphibolite- to granulite-facies mineral assemblages. Hall Peninsula hosts a highly prospective kimberlite field, as well as mafic, ultramafic, and carbonate rocks that may contain metal, semi-precious gemstone and carving stone resource potential"--Abstract.
