Describes the geology of an area in west central Slave Province, Northwest Territories, where the Archean supracrustal rock record is unusually well preserved and complete. Regional geological mapping of the area, an important host of gold and base metal deposits, provides a framework for examining and understanding the geological evolution of this region that may well apply elsewhere in the Slave Province. The area comprises two domains with highly contrasting structural levels, separated by a major north-trending ductile shear zone. The report provides a description and interpretation of deformed and variably metamorphosed sedimentary and volcanic rocks and of their intrusions, and contains sections on the area's Quaternary geology, structural geology, metamorphic geology, and economic geology.
