2014 Summary:
The goal of this research is to study select bedrock exposures of sedimentary rocks and determine their age and provenance (source). This is completed by walking and looking/documenting rocks (mapping) and in some places collecting fist-sized rocks samples with a small hammer. These samples are processed at the University of Alberta.
To test the hypothesis, a combination of field observations b...

Summary:
The research team will be based out of Yellowknife. Travel to the Crestaurum Mine site will be by road; travel on site will be by foot. Detailed geological mapping will be carried out by gathering fist-sized samples of rock with a hammer, or rock saw. Both mineralized (ore-bearing) and un-mineralized samples will be collected. Samples will then be returned to the laboratory for further, detail...
