Highlights  black shale of the rift-related late Mesoproterozoic Arctic Bay Fm. was deposited under a stratified oxygenated / anoxic water column  metal enrichments were caused primarily by stripping from the water column and possibly enhanced by diagenetic redistribution into subtle carbonate-bearing layers  concentrated venting was absent at the study location, but basin geochemistry was suitable for formation of SEDEX and polymetallic deposits  U-Th-Pb whole-rock depositional age of the Arctic Bay Formation is 1092±59 Ma
