Abstract

The Ivnartivaq complex is a small ultramafic body enclosed in quartzo-feldspathic gneisses. It consists largely of serpentinite but has a core of fresh dunite and abundant veins of asbestiform minerals containing amphibole, talc, chlorite and magnetite. The complex is early Proterozoic in age. It probably does not contain economic deposits of either industrial or metallic minerals.
