Principal Investigator: Groat, Lee A.
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5299. The main objectives of this fieldwork are to: 1) constrain the connection between the Niobium-Yttrium-Fluorine (NYF) and Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum (LCT) pegmatites; 2) assess the parental connections to the granite batholith which will provide insight into the evolution of melt over time, leading to a deeper understandi...

Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5283. This research study aims to fill the existing knowledge gaps about the Imperial Formation, including its regional sedimentology and stratigraphy (what types of rocks do we see regionally; how do they change vertically and laterally), ichnology and paleontology (what kind of fossils/traces do we see in the rocks). Addi...

Summary: This is a Masters of Science research project aimed at understanding the geological evolution of a deep-marine environment that existed in the northern Mackenzie Mountains between 500 and 450 million years ago. The project team will establish small 2-3 person camps on or near a mountainside where we already know, based on previous work, that the rocks they are interested in will be exposed. Eac...

Principal Investigator: Rose, Rachael
Licensed Year(s): 2011
Summary: The objective of this study is to record the succession of rocks and collect some samples for further analysis. The researchers would take pictures of the rocks at the locations in order to support the interpretations made. From these observations, interpretations on the Devonian environment can be made. Rock succession and features within the rocks will be recorded in a notebook and the corres...

Principal Investigator: Skeries, Kristina A
Licensed Year(s): 2011
Summary: The objective of this research project is to understand how metals might be weathering from rocks, and to understand where they end up and in which chemical form (the speciation). The importance is to differentiate between the metal species that weather from the rocks, the species by which they are transported, and finally, the species by which they are deposited again, if they are in fact deposit...

Principal Investigator: Millman, Peter M
Licensed Year(s): 2007 2006
Summary: The objective of the program is to observe surface geological features and document these observations. From a geological perspective the objective of the project is to complete a reconnaissance of the Cambrian and Proterozoic sections in 4 areas. Field operations will take approximately 6 days to complete. The project team will mobilize by helicopter daily from Norman Wells for the western...

Principal Investigator: Martel, Edith
Licensed Year(s): 2007 2006
Summary: The Sekwi Mapping Project is aimed at defining the structural, stratigraphic, metallogenic and geochronological characteristics of the bedrock of a segment of the Mackenzie Mountains. The project will also involve assessment of the mineral, diamond and hydrocarbon potential of the area. This information will provide an updated geological database that will include a GIS-based compilation of bedroc...

Principal Investigator: Gal, Leonard
Licensed Year(s): 2003 2002
Summary: The objective of the fieldwork is to further assess the non-renewable resource potential of the Edacho area, as a follow-up to Phase I work which was a review of existing data. This assessment is being carried out as part of the Northwest Territories Pro...

Principal Investigator: Falck, Hendrik
Licensed Year(s): 2003 2002
Summary: The purpose of this project is to develop and compile an inventory, and improve the understanding of mineral deposits related to granite intrusions in the western Northwest Territories. Understanding the concentrations of metals in the environment is im...

Principal Investigator: Wielens, Hans
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The researcher will look at several outcropping rock formations that are accessible in the NWT. The potential for hydrocarbon generation and storage of these rocks will be the main focus of the work....
