The geology of the Stanley Head map area is dominated by a previously unrecognized, shallow-level fold and thrust fault that creates the distinctive topography in this area. Three phases of deformation have been documented in the study area: 1) northeast-verging fold and thrust faults, 2) folding associated with a north-south compressional event resulting in local refolding of northeast-verging folds, and 3) normal faulting associated with east-west extension. The main structure in the study area is the Stanley Head anticline that is cored by evaporite of the Bay Fiord Formation. This anticline is characterized by kink-style fold geometry, and has an approximate wavelength of 2 km and a length of 9 km. There are numerous normal and strike-slip faults in the area, which define several fault blocks that collectively offset the Stanley Head anticline. Calcite veining is pervasive and barite veining is localized throughout the study area.
