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...

Summary: The objective of this mapping project is to define the structural, metamorphic, lithological and geochemical bedrock characteristics of the area, and provide this information in an updated geological database. This is the second year of a two-year projec...

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...

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...
