Summary: The objective of this airborne survey is to acquire high-resolution aeromagnetic data. Aeromagnetic surveys measure magnetic properties of bedrock and are one of the tools used in geological mapping. The bedrock may contain mineral deposits, such as gold, copper, lead, zinc, and diamonds. Understanding the geology will help geologists map the area, assist mineral exploration activities , and provi...

Summary: This licence is issued for the scientific research application #912. The objective of this research is to provide baseline information on the terrain in and around the Thor Lake area. Filed observations will allow the researchers to produce a terrain map of the Thor lake area. To do this, the land must be categorized based on landforms, mineral deposits, drainage, slopes and geohazards (fo...

Summary: The Expansion Project proposes to supply power to the Snap Lake, Gahcho Kue, Diavik and EKATI mine sites by expanding the existing infrastructure at the facilities on the Taltson River at Twin Gorges and at Nonacho Lake. Studies characterizing baseline e...

Principal Investigator: Lowe, Carmel
Licensed Year(s): 1995
Summary: The researchers will take gravity readings and soundings at specified stations on the frozen ice. In addition a latitude and longitude fix will be taken at each station....

Principal Investigator: Johnstone, Robert
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1992 1991
Summary: The researcher and his team will traverse throughout the map area examining bedrock exposures and sampling. Observations may help construct a geological map showing lithology, structure and mineral occurences. Rock samples will be collected for geochemical and petrological analysis. The results of the survey will be presented in the form of poster displays, talks, reports and a map for distribu...

Principal Investigator: Gill, D.
Licensed Year(s): 1977
Summary: Deltaic geomorphology and fluvial environments will be mapped and studied, sedimentation studies will be done and samples taken for laboratory analysis. Vegetation will be mapped and categorized as to terrestrial, wetland and aquatic. Small mammal trapping, to determine species composition and their use of various vegetation types. Similar field observations will be made on the habitats of delt...
