Indicator Mineral Project, Hopedale Block, Labrador, 2017-2020



Project Description

This project will assist in ongoing exploration efforts in the region and aid in understanding paleo iceflow south of the Nain Plutonic Suite. This study is part of a larger collaborative project undertaken to address geoscientific knowledge gaps in this region of Labrador.

Till samples were collected in 2017, 2018 and 2019 and the data are published in the following reports:

 

Collection Year Publication Details
2017 Open File LAB/1743 heavy minerals
2018 Open File 013N/0156 heavy minerals
2019 Open File 013N/0159 heavy minerals

Project Funding

Funding was provided by the Geo-mapping for Energy and Minerals program phase 2, and the Geological Survey of Newfoundland and Labrador.

GEM (2008-2013) was renewed in 2013 (until 2020) and Phase 2 continues to advance geological knowledge in the North to support increased exploration of natural resources and to inform decisions on land use that balance conservation and responsible resource development.

The NL Geological Survey carries out impartial, state-of-the-art geoscientific investigations throughout Newfoundland and Labrador in order to interpret and explain the Province's geological evolution, and to describe, interpret and explain the distribution, nature, quantity and origin of the Province's mineral resources.
