Summary: The Peel Plateau and Plain is a region of under-explored hydrocarbon potential. Bedrock mapping and exploration drilling was done in the 1960s. The objective of this project is to improve knowledge of regional geology, including stratigraphy; correlation, depositional and tectonic histories; basin evolution; and petroleum geology and potential. Reconnaissance work will be conducted in the Peel Pla...

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...

Summary: The project will be conducted from 10-12 tent fly-camps within the study area. Each camp will be set-out by helicopter (out of Norman Wells) and will be of a duration of approximately 5-7 days. Our work will consist of daily hikes from our camps, during which our observations of the rock types and mineral occurrences will be noted on 1:50,000-scale topographic maps and air photos. Data collectio...

Summary: To reconstruct the depositional environment in as much detail as possible, of the Upper Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous sediments nowadays outcropping in the central part of the Northern Richardson Mountains....

Principal Investigator: Dixon, O.A.
Licensed Year(s): 1984
Summary: To carry out a combined sedimentological-paleoecological study of surface exposures of the Devonian Ramparts reef complex. This would involve mapping, measurement and description of stratigraphic sections and collection of fossil samples for later laboratory study. This is the conclusion of work begun in 1982....
