|
|
The Porcupine mines are situated in the Porcupine Camp in Archean rocks of the western Abitibi Greenstone belt of the Superior Province in the Canadian Shield. These consist of ultramafic and mafic volcanic rocks of the Keewatin subgroup overlain by sedimentary rocks of the Timiskaming group. The lands lie adjacent and to the north of the regionally significant Porcupine Destor Fault.
