Neoarchean volcanic rocks of the Beaulieu River volcanic belt (ca. 2.6 Ga) are found in the Sunset Lake area, located approximately 110 km east-northeast of Yellowknife, NT. Volcanic rocks within the Beaulieu River volcanic belt are dominantly composed of tholeiitic basalts, calc alkaline basaltic a...
