Summary: The project is aimed at obtaining a better understanding of the bedrock geology and mineral potential of the South Bear area. Southern Bear project area is in the Bear Structural Province of the Northwest Territories centred approximately 240 km north-northwest of Yellowknife. Geological data on the area is sparse and limited to 1:250 000 regional mapping by the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC...

Principal Investigator: MacLachlan, Kate
Licensed Year(s): 2002 2001
Summary: The work will contribute to a better understanding of the geological history of the Slave Province (which extends from Rae Edzo in the west, to East Arm of Great Slave Lake, and north to Coronation Gulf), and provide baseline geological data for explorat...

Summary: The Snare River mapping project will define the structural, metamorphic, lithographical and geochemical bedrock characteristics of the area, providing an up-dated geological data base. The mapping team will be flown out by float plane from Yellowknife in...

Principal Investigator: Hubbard, Laura
Licensed Year(s): 2001
Summary: The research team will be based out of Yellowknife, and travel to the Giant Mine site by motor vehicle. Detailed geological mapping will occur to enable the research team to understand the alteration and associated mineralization within the mine camp. Sampling of various rock types (ore, mineralized and un-mineralized) will be conducted with a hammer, with specimens collected ranging from 10-20 ...

Summary: The objective of this study is to improve the geological understanding of the Slave Geological Province in general and specific key areas in more detail (eg. areas northeast of Yellowknife known as the Sleepy Dragon Complex, the Acasta Gneiss Complex, the Courageous Lake area, etc.). Various rock types will be mapped and described and their role in the complex geological history of the Slave Prov...

Principal Investigator: Corcoran, Patricia
Licensed Year(s): 1997
Summary: Research involves mapping and sampling of rocks for geological study. Equipment and all crew members will be transported to and removed from base camps by float plane (twin or turbine otter). A zodiac with 10-20 hsp motors will be used to travel within the study area. Rock samples (5-15 lbs) will be collected, small and large-scale maps will be compiled. The study will provide information about...

Principal Investigator: Perks, Matthew
Licensed Year(s): 1996 1995
Summary: Examination of the temporal and genetic relationship between metamorphism and granitoid magmatism will be achieved through detailed mapping of granite-metasediment contacts to examine the thermal effects of granite intrusion. This will rely on a detailed documentation of the mineral assemblages, textures, metamorphic grade, and relative timing of the meta-sedimentary and meta-igneous rocks in the...

Principal Investigator: Stubley, Mike
Licensed Year(s): 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990
Summary: The researchers will examine, document, and sample surface outcrops in the study area. The information will be recorded on a map which will summarize the geological rock-types and mineral resources of the area. The researchers will camp at two separate sites during the field season. The work will consist primarily of daily walks from wherever they can get their inflatable boat. Airplane suppor...

Principal Investigator: Pehrsson, Sally J
Licensed Year(s): 1996 1995 1994
Summary: This will be the final summer of work for this phase of mapping in Indin Lake. The mapping data (including structural, petrological, geochemical &geochronological) will enable a detailed geological history of the project area to be constructed. This will include timing of major events, including volcanism, plutonism and sedimentation, and subsequent deformation. The results will be presented in...

Principal Investigator: Thompson, Peter H.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1992
Summary: This is the concluding summer of a regional scale bedrock mapping project, with associated geochronology sampling. The researcher will accomplish this by boat, foot and occasional fixed wing and periodic helicopter support. All the data will be digitally entered for computer map compilation and generation....
