Summary: The objective of this research project is to map the March Fault and the structures in the rocks that it cuts through to look for evidence of when it formed, how it formed, and how much relative movement has occurred along it. This research is primarily a field-based involving detailed geological mapping by foot along a series of traverses across the March Fault. The research team will use rock...

Summary: The objective of this research project is to understand how metals might be weathering from rocks, and to understand where they end up and in which chemical form (the speciation). The importance is to differentiate between the metal species that weather from the rocks, the species by which they are transported, and finally, the species by which they are deposited again, if they are in fact deposit...

Licensed Year(s): 2009
Summary: This year, the research purpose is to investigate potential geological localities for work next year, so direct involvement with local communities and guides will be minimal. The researcher intends to identify and talk with people who have outfitting and guide businesses, and those who have knowledge of potential research areas for next summer’s research. The objectives of the proposed researc...

Summary: The objective of the project is to observe and document geological features in completing a reconnaissance of the surface geology of the Cambrian and Proteozoic sections in four areas the Central Mackenzie region: Mackenzie Mountains, Mount Clark, Black Water Lake and Cap Mountain. Geological information obtained from this field program will be used to refine Devon Canada's exploration model in th...

Licensed Year(s): 2001
Summary: The project team will be based in Ft. Liard, and travel in the field by Deh Cho Helicopters. The itinerary of the field is weather dependant. The duration of the proposed field studies will be from 10 August-26 August, 2001. Rock samples (fist sized) will be collected, and returned to the laboratory for detailed chemical analysis. Structural mapping will be traced on aerial photos and transferre...

Principal Investigator: Lane, Larry S
Licensed Year(s): 2002 2001 2000
Summary: The research team will resume mapping bedrock and surficial geology at 1:50,000 and 1:250,000 scales, continuing a project begun in the summer of 2000. The base of operations will be either at Fort Liard, or at an existing base camp on the southeastern La Biche River. Fly camps will be accessed by helicopter. Fly camps will be visited by 2-4 crew members for about 1 week. From the fly camps the ...
