The main objective of the report and the geological model is to build a numerical representation of the subsurface 2 that can be further used to evaluate the potential of the site to host a deep geological repository. [...] The supracrustal rocks distributed to the southwest of the batholith belong to the Bending Lake greenstone belt and those distributed to the northeast of the batholith belong to the Raleigh Lake greenstone belt. [...] The biotite granite to granodiorite suite has a well-defined density (mean of 2.65 ± 0.05 g/cc), which is the lowest of the four rock units inside the Revell batholith and dominates the 3D model and the gravity signature of the batholith. [...] The orientation of the section line is perpendicular to the long axis of the batholith and also to the main northwest-trending fabric orientation in the surrounding greenstone belts. [...] In the cross-section, the near-surface orientation of the southwest and northeast contacts between the supracrustal rocks and the southwest margin of the batholith are, in dip and dip direction notation, 61° towards 223° and 75° towards 221°, respectively.
