Wildfires and contaminated landscapes: The impact of wildfire on the mobility, transport and fate of metal(loids) in a subarctic shield landscape
Principal Investigator: Devoie, Élise
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5898. The main goal of this project is to explore how wildfire will affect the stability and fate of metals and metalloids (i.e. arsenic, mercury, antimony) in mining contaminated and pristine landscapes. Metal(loid) concentrations in air, soil, and water in and around Boundary Creek (30 km west of Yellowknife) will be co...


TERRE-NET: Controls on the Release of Contaminants from Gold Tailings at the Giant Mine, Yellowknife, NT
Principal Investigator: Blowes, David W.
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022 2021 2020 2019 2018 2017
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5780. Objective: 1. Determine the magnitude and rate of release of arsenic and other toxic elements from the Giant Mine tailings to groundwater. 2. Evaluate remediation alternatives for tailings management, including the effects of proposed engineered covers. 3. Apply novel characterization techniques to understand th...


GMOB: Remediation Strategies for the Long-term Management of Arsenic-trioxide-bearing Roaster Wastes at the Giant Mine, Northwest Territories
Principal Investigator: Blowes, David W.
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5779. The overall goals of the four projects proposed within Phase 1 are to: 1. Provide an enhanced understanding of the physical and geochemical properties of the roaster waste 2. Screen for potentially viable remediation alternatives that may warrant additional research (e.g., long-term laboratory experiments, pilot-s...


Arsenic and mining associated metals in berries and local garden produce in the Yellowknife area
Principal Investigator: Palmer, Mike
Licensed Year(s): 2020
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4829. The objective of this project is to gain a better understanding of the current state of mining related contaminants in local berries and garden produce in the Yellowknife area and to determine the potential risk to human health associated with the consumption of these local food sources. Specifically, this project ...


Health Effects Monitoring Program
Principal Investigator: Chan, Laurie H. M.
Licensed Year(s): 2021 2020 2019 2018 2017
Summary: The Health Effects Monitoring Program is a human biomonitoring study aimed to assess the exposure and health impact of arsenic and other contaminants on the human population of Yellowknife, Ndilo and Dettah in the Northwest Territories, as part of the Giant Mine Remediation Project. The overall objective of the program is to establish current or baseline levels of arsenic exposure among residen...
