Abstract

This report provides till indicator mineral results from a surficial mapping and sampling study conducted in 2018 in the Hopedale (NTS 13N) map area. This study is part of a 2-year collaborative program between the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC), under its Geo-Mapping for Energy and Minerals (GEM) Program, and the Geological Survey of Newfoundland and Labrador (GSNL), the Nunatsiavut Government, and the University College of Cape Breton.

The study area is located west of the coastal community of Hopedale, which has limited access by air or sea. The Voisey’s Bay Ni–Cu–Co mine is located 110 km north of the study area, west of Nain. Big Bay is located to the north, Udjoktok Bay to the south and Harp Lake on the southwestern boundary.
