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...


Developing New Tools for Assessing Legacy Pollutants and their Ecological Consequences in Lakes Near Northwest Territories Mines
Principal Investigator: Blais, Jules M
Licensed Year(s): 2017 2016 2015
Summary: The research team propose to develop tools to assess risks associated with legacy industrial developments in a northern setting. The team will investigate contaminants from the Giant Mine near Yellowknife Northwest Territories (NT), which operated between 1948 and 2004, producing a legacy of contaminants including arsenic, antimony, hydrocarbons, mercury, and others. This remediation strategy appl...


Mobility and Speciation of Antimony and Arsenic in the Aqueous Environment around the Giant Mine, Yellowknife, NWT
Principal Investigator: Fawcett, Skya
Licensed Year(s): 2007 2006 2005
Summary: The purpose of this project is to study the mobility, speciation, and mineralogical and geochemical controls on antimony (Sb) and arsenic (As) originating from the Giant Mine. This research could aid in designing reclamation plans, resolving the relation between Sb and benthic diversity and identifying threats to the Great Slave Lake ecosystem. Understanding the movement and speciation of As and S...
