The uppermost bedrock in northwest Alberta consists of a Cretaceous succession of nearly horizontal and poorly-indurated marine shales of the Fort St. John Group (Loon River and Shaftesbury formations) and Smoky Group, separated by deltaic to marine sandstones of the Dunvegan Formation (Okulitch 2006). A large structural feature, the Great Slave Lake Shear Zone (GSLSZ) cuts across the study area (Eaton Hope 2003).

Thor lake is located in the Northwest Territories of Canada, situated 5 km north of the Heame Channel of the Great Slave Lake, and approximately 100 km east-southeast of Yellowknife. The location is given in Fig. 2.13 (Avalon Rare Metals 2015a). 

Lead isotopic composition of the main sediment types (for a compilation see Appendix C) is more a function of age of source areas for the sediment than of rock type because the source rocks contain significant quantities of U and Th relative to lead (Fig. 17). Young sediments in restricted basins draining Precambrian terranes, such as Hudson Bay, Great Slave Lake, Great Bear Lake, Lake Superior, and the Baltic Sea (Chow, 1965 Hart and Tilton, 1966), tend to be highly radiogenic and variable in lead isotope ratios.
