Geology, Mahony Lake (northeast), Northwest Territories / [by] K.M. Fallas and B.C. MacLean. : M183-1/89-2012E-PDF

"This map area, encompassing the northeast quadrant of the Mahony Lake map area (NTS 96-F), lies at the western edge of the Great Bear Plain, between the Franklin Mountains and Great Bear Lake, Northwest Territories. The area is dominated by a low, undulating, forested plain with rare bedrock exposure. Most of the area is underlain by flat-lying Cretaceous sedimentary strata, disturbed locally by minor fold or fault features. Near the western edge of the map area, the Neyele Lake Fault juxtaposes Paleozoic carbonate strata against Cretaceous siliciclastic strata, with little or no topographic relief. Evidence of this fault is found on public-domain seismic-reflection profiles archived with the National Energy Board. The Neyele Lake Fault demarcates the eastern most structural feature at this latitude involving Paleozoic strata that developed as a result of Cordilleran deformation. Historical exploration by petroleum companies in the area targeted potential reservoirs in buried Cambrian strata"--Abstract.
