The QSP area represents a well-preserved segment of felsic volcanic stratigraphy within the Hope Bay volcanic belt in western Nunavut. This paper reports the result of a detailed mapping program carried out over the QSP area to outline volcanic stratigraphy and associated geochemistry & hydrothermal alteration. It includes information on the regional geology, the geology of the volcanic belt, the history of mineral exploration in the area, the volcanic & intrusive rocks in the QSP area and their alteration, and (briefly) structural geology.

This paper presents results from a Quaternary mapping project conducted in two areas of central mainland Nunavut that were located beneath the Keewatin Ice Divide during the last glaciation. Field work included surficial mapping, regional-scale till sampling, stratigraphic studies, and ice-flow indicator surveys. The paper summarizes the findings related to ice flow directions, patterns, and the sequence of flow events in the two map areas. Preliminary interpretations are offered of the ice flow record from the oldest recognized ice-flow events to the most recent flows.
