Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5565. The purpose of this project is designed to understand the environment in which the volcanic rocks were formed. The styles of mineralization will be looked at to understand if they formed at the same time as the volcanoes or much later. This work will be done by analyzing rock chemistry, and looking at very thin piec...

Summary: The present study aims to obtain information with the following objectives: 1) further describe, sample, and document field relationships and structures present in areas that were sampled and found to be significantly old (>3.8 billion years); 2) explore and sample other units which based on field relationships and mineralogy are likely to be as old or older than previously documented samples; and...

Summary: This research study is designed to investigate the processes related to water quality and quantity (collected at different scales) draining from country rock stockpiles that are located in areas of continuous permafrost. The quality of water draining from a country rock stockpile is determined by the combined effects of oxygen transport in the air phase, biogeochemical processes that control miner...

Summary: The objectives of the Great Bear/IOCG geoscience research and mapping project are to: • develop a modern geological, crustal architecture and exploration framework for polymetallic iron oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) deposit-type mineralizing systems in the Great Bear magmatic zone and new exploration methods for IOCG deposits in glaciated terrains; • validate deposit-type model for known mineral occu...

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: Kerr, Daniel E.
Licensed Year(s): 2001 2000 1999
Summary: The primary objective is to provide geoscience data and new exploration techniques in the Yellowknife Greenstone Belt area that can be used in delineation of reserves and discovery of new mineral deposits. The main mode of transportation will be by helicopter (206L), float plane, truck (where road access is available), and possibly by boat. The helicopter and plane will be based out of Yellowkni...

Principal Investigator: Groat, Lee A.
Licensed Year(s): 1995 1994 1993
Summary: The researchers will continue their study, begun in 1993, on the pegmatites found in the Selwyn Mountains and other western Canadian locations. Pegmatites contain rare elements such as lithium, beryllium, rubidium, niobium, cesium and talalum. This study will result in a summary of information on pegmatites, including detailed information on their classification, origins and economic potential....

Licensed Year(s): 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990
Summary: The research team will examine, document and take samples of the surface outcrops (rocks) in the study area. This information will be recorded on a map which will summarize the geological rock types and mineral resources of the area....

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....
