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: Johnstone, Robert
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1992 1991
Summary: In this final year of the project my assistant and myself will be hiking around the area inspecting bedrock exposures, taking notes on rock types, structures and mineralization and sampling rock for microscopic and geochemical analysis back in Yellowknife....

Principal Investigator: KERR, DAN
Licensed Year(s): 1994
Summary: Conduct mapping of surficial deposits based on airphoto interpretation and fieldwork. Dig small holes to obtain soil samples. Samples will be analyzed to determine their chemical composition....

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....

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: Morgan, James P.
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: Mr. Morgan will produce maps showing the location and characteristics of economic mineral occurences and objects such as drill holes and trenches. These will be cross-indexed to published reports on economic geology....

Principal Investigator: Cerny, Petr
Licensed Year(s): 1988
Summary: Mr. Tomascak is a student of Dr. Cerny. He will be mapping and collecting samples of granite to determine if they contain rare minerals such as lithium, beryllium, and tin....

Principal Investigator: St. Seymour, Karen
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: (a) by employing petrochemical methods to delineate the chemostratigraphy of the Point Lake greenstone belt in the Slave structural Province and demonstrate its relationship with the Yellowknife volcanics; (b) chemically characterize and document the stratigraphy and tectonic style of the Redrock Lake volcanic belt....
