Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5525. The objective of this work is to update and increase the understanding of the geological history of this area of the north-central Slave craton, Northwest Territories. This work will be conducted mostly on foot with access along the water provided by canoe and zodiac boat. The research team will be walking the lan...

Principal Investigator: McBride, John A
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5429. The objective of this research is to better understand the lithological host rocks, mineralization controls and timing of the intrusions at the Colomac Deposit, Goldcrest Deposit and the broader supracrustal rocks that host gold mineralization within the greenstone belt. This added understanding will support further d...

Summary: The 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 Geologica...

Principal Investigator: Hubert, Ben
Licensed Year(s): 2002
Summary: The purposes of these studies are to update the environmental baseline data set for the Izok Project in preparation for submitting a project proposal for developing the orebody at Izok Lake. This study focuses on a mineral deposit in Nunavut. The project...

Principal Investigator: Siddorn, James
Licensed Year(s): 2001
Summary: All research to be conducted, either underground or on the surface, will be carried out at the Giant and Con mine sites in Yellowknife. Data on the origination of structural features (faults, foliations, folds, ect.) will be measured with a compass clinometer. Samples (< 10cm in diameter) will be taken of certain rock types which display interesting small scale structures....

Principal Investigator: English, Michael C
Licensed Year(s): 2003 2002 2001 2000
Summary: Tthe objective of this study is to continue research examining the hydrological and energy budget of small arctic esker lake basin during the spring melt period. The intent of this research is to understand the relationship between the energy budget and changes in soil moisture, rates of evapotranspiration, and changes in water discharge from a small tundra basin underlain by permafrost. Transpo...

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: Lambert, M.B.
Licensed Year(s): 1994
Summary: The researcher will conduct detailed mapping of the area. The researcher will traverse by foot and a small boat on the river systems. In the laboratory, the chemistry and radiometric age of the volcanic rocks units will be examined in order to determine the relationship of the mineral deposits to this volcano....

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: 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....
