Book Description
The Nanisivik deposits are Mississippi Valley-type Zn-Pb-Ag massive sulphide bodies hosted by Mesoproterozoic dolostone of the Society Cliffs Formation. This work, undertaken during the summer of 2001, included detailed mapping in the immediate vicinity of the Nanisivik mine, regional mapping, and examination of accessible sulphide showings, and was undertaken to characterize the stratigraphy and develop a regional model for the mineralization. This project bridges the gap between deposit-specific and regional studies. In addition to generating new concepts, this paper integrates previous work into a coherent model explaining the genesis and distribution of massive sulphide bodies in the Nanisivik area.
