Granitoid rocks in the Slave Province consist of 4.0–2.8 Ga granitoid gneisses that predate the 2.71–2.65 Ga volcanic and turbiditic rocks of the Yellowknife Supergroup and 2.70–2.58 Ga granitoid plutons that intrude the Yellowknife Supergroup. U–Pb zircon ages and Nd and Pb isotopic data indicate t...
