The Vannareid–Burøysund fault is a major, brittle, normal fault in northern Norway, with cohesive fault rocks (cataclasites) that host Cu–Zn-bearing quartz-carbonate veins. The fault is exposed on the island of Vanna in the Neoarchaean to Palaeoproterozoic West Troms Basement Complex, separating var...
