Report of activities 2017, GEM-2 Baffin project : regional bedrock mapping of northern Baffin Island (Pond Inlet and Mary River areas), Nunavut / B.M. Saumur, D.R. Skipton, and M.R. St-Onge.: M183-2/8304E-PDF

“This report serves as a progress report on the fieldwork, map compilation and geoscience research undertaken in the GEM-2 North Baffin bedrock mapping activity in late 2016 and 2017, as part of GEM-2 Baffin Project. Geological maps inform industry, government, and community stakeholders of potential economic resources. During the past two decades, systematic and targeted mapping of Precambrian and Phanerozoic bedrock geology has been completed for large tracts of Nunavut. Updated regional bedrock map coverage for Baffin Island south of latitude 70°N was completed in 2016. The activity described herein represents the first steps towards an updated geological framework north of 70°N, with the goal of producing maps at a scale and resolution commensurate with those produced for the southern portion of the island”--Project summary, p. 3.
