Online_Linkage: Description: Abstract: Foxe Peninsula OF5434 This CD-ROM contains: a geological bedrock compilation (1:250 000 scale); planar and linear structural point data; lithology and mineral assemblage data; a comprehensive tectonostratigraphic legend; the location and analytical results for a suite of rock samples assayed for their base metal and precious metal potential; the location of potential carving stone material; and hydrographic features and topographic contours for the Cape Dorset - Cape Green - Cape Dorchester (Foxe Peninsula) region, southwestern Baffin Island, Nunavut. The purpose of this database is to provide a complete, digital, internally consistent, and georeferenced collection of spatial data that will assist interested parties in mineral exploration, environmental studies, land use planning, and other investigations requiring up-to-date earth sciences information. The geoscientific data included, and the bedrock geological interpretations presented, are the result of a summer of field work (2006) and compilation and synthesis activities within the context of an integrated geoscientific project in the southwestern portion of Baffin Island which was supported by the Geological Survey of Canada, the Polar Continental Shelf Project (Earth Sciences Sector, Natural Resources Canada), and the Qikiqtani Inuit Association in partnership with the Canada-Nunavut Geoscience Office (Iqaluit, Nunavut). Complimentary databases and geoscientific interpretations released by the South West Baffin Island Geosciences (SWBIG) Project will feature results derived from continued bedrock compilation and synthesis activities, as well as publications stemming from surficial mapping, geochronological and geochemical sampling, remote predictive mapping, petrological and structural research, traditional place names and ethnogeographic studies, plus 1 MSc and 3 BSc theses being completed in the greater project area.
