"In 2014, the topographically rugged Meta Incognita Peninsula (Baffin Island) was successfully mapped. The objective was to improve the geological knowledge and document the economic potential of the greater Iqaluit area. Field observations established the distribution of sedimentary rocks that can be correlated with rock formations in the vicinity of Kimmirut. A suite of magmatic sheets (sills) was documented and will be the focus of further study. These are of potential economic importance as they contain metallic minerals (sulphides), and their occurrence could indicate the presence of economic metal concentrations. Four rock deformation and two thermal events were recognized. Such events can be correlated with similar ones that took place 1.8 billion years ago and have been previously documented both elsewhere on Baffin Island and on the Ungava Peninsula of northern Quebec. These results will be used to compare and improve models showing the ancient geological evolution of Nunavut"--Abstract.
