A new look at the stratigraphy of the Yellowknife Supergroup at Yellowknife, N.W.T. — implications for the age of gold-bearing shear zones and Archean basin evolution
Based on recent detailed mapping, a revised stratigraphic column is proposed for the rocks of the Archean Yellowknife Supergroup in the Yellowknife greenstone belt.
