NWT RESEARCH DATABASE

Principal Investigator: Kerr, Daniel E.
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The researcher will be conducting geological field work in the region defined by the NTS Winter Lake Map (No. 86A). The work will involve surveying the land features and collecting samples of the rock and sediments in order that this information can be summarized on a geological map....

Principal Investigator: Stubley, Michael
Licensed Year(s): 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990
Summary: The research team will examine, document and take samples of the surface outcrops (rocks) in the study area. This information will be recorded on a map which will summarize the geological rock types and mineral resources of the area....

Principal Investigator: Ward, Brent
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The researcher will survey by helicopter and on foot the areas of Lac de Gras and Aylmer Lake in order to investigate the distribution and nature of surface rocks and sediments. This data will be used to create geological maps of the areas as well as to check the accuracy of a preliminary map that was made based on air photo data. As well, samples of rock will be taken for chemical analyses in a...

Principal Investigator: Henderson, J.R.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1992
Summary: This year's field work will complete the geological mapping exercise that was started in 1992. The researcher will document, measure and collect various types of rocks found in the area in order to determine the distribution of the various rock types and to under- stand how they originally formed. Most of these rocks are among the oldest known in Canada, with some being over 2.5 billion years ol...

Principal Investigator: Johnstone, Robert
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1992 1991
Summary: The researcher and his team will traverse throughout the map area examining bedrock exposures and sampling. Observations may help construct a geological map showing lithology, structure and mineral occurences. Rock samples will be collected for geochemical and petrological analysis. The results of the survey will be presented in the form of poster displays, talks, reports and a map for distribu...

Principal Investigator: King, Janet E.
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: Mapping of bedrock and surfical geology will be conducted in numerous parts of the geologic Slave Province. Specific studies of the bedrock, such as its stratigraphy, the nature of the granitic rocks, how the rocks deformed and metamorphosed, and isotopic dating will provide insight on the geologic evolution of this part (Slave Province) of the Canadian Sheild....

Principal Investigator: Henderson, John B.
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The research will collect information to produce maps which outline the distribution of various rock types, attempting to show their relationship to each other in order to understand their history, how they orignially formed and what has happened to them between then and now. This data will also assist in the search for mineral deposits in the study area....

Principal Investigator: Falck, Hendrik
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The Researcher and his assistant will visit all known gold and mineral resource occurances in the Yellowknife area. The area immediately around the showing will be mapped as to rock types, structures and mineral resources. Samples are returned to town and analyzed for chemcials and minerals....
