Book excerpt: The purpose of this paper is to document results of the electrical resistivity characteristics of rocks from the Astarte River Formation, central Baffin Island, for use in interpreting ground electromagnetic surveys that have been conducted in the central Baffin region. Results are presented for five black graphitic shale samples subjected to three-dimensional electrical resistivity measurements & subsequent data analysis. The samples were selected to characterize the resistivity of the Formation and to determine the effect of strong foliation containing porous layers & of disseminated sulphide mineralization oriented parallel to foliation.
