Summary: The research team will be based out of Yellowknife, and travel to the Giant Mine site by motor vehicle. Detailed geological mapping will occur to enable the research team to understand the alteration and associated mineralization within the mine camp. Sampling of various rock types (ore, mineralized and un-mineralized) will be conducted with a hammer, with specimens collected ranging from 10-20 ...

Summary: If future feasibility studies determine that a mine should be developed for access to the diamondiferous kimberlite underlying Gahcho KuÚ, the lake will be dyked and partially drained as has been the case at other diamond properties in the NWT. As such, the Fisheries Act requires compensation for lost fish productivity and lost habitat. To determine the amount of compensation DeBeers Canada...
