Nunavut Tunngavik Inc., Nunavut

The Bathurst, Back River and Regan Lake areas are host to a number of Au in iron formation and VHMS showings.  I spent a summer in this area of Nunavut gathering data for a B.Sc. thesis in conjunction with Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated.

The area at which I spent most of my time was in the Crazy Bear Metamorphic Complex.  Most of the rocks are sillimanite-grade metamorphosed wackes, argillites and iron formation intruded by late pegmatites and granitoids.  Au is located in silicate-facies iron formation overprinted by garnet, grunerite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite.
