Online_Linkage: Description: Abstract: This preliminary Open File geological map presents results of bedrock mapping undertaken in the region during 1985,1991,1992, and 1994 field seasons. The objectives of the mapping were to upgrade the reconnaissance database, and to address some of the outstanding structural, metamorphic, and metallogenic problems in the region, in order to provide a framework for regional correlation and tectonic synthesis of rock units of this part of the Churchill Structural Province. Detailed accounts of bedrock geology covering the region were published in numerous GSC publications. The reader is referred to the references cited here for a comprehensive overview of the geology of the region. Purpose: Supplemental_Information: Data set is in English. Magnetic declination stated in degrees and minutes. Annual change stated in minutes. Magnetic declination at NW corner of map: 8°6'W, changing 1.8'W annually. Magnetic declination at SW corner of map: 7°49'W, changing 2.1'W annually. Magnetic declination at NE corner of map: 9°9'W, changing 0.7'W annually. Magnetic declination at SE corner of map: 8°51'W, changing 1'W annually. Magnetic declination at center of map: 8°29'W, changing 1.4'W annually. Proximity of the North Magnetic Pole causes the compass to be erratic in this area.
