TERRE-NET: Controls on the Release of Contaminants from Gold Tailings at the Giant Mine, Yellowknife, NT
Principal Investigator: Blowes, David W.
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022 2021 2020 2019 2018 2017
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5780. Objective: 1. Determine the magnitude and rate of release of arsenic and other toxic elements from the Giant Mine tailings to groundwater. 2. Evaluate remediation alternatives for tailings management, including the effects of proposed engineered covers. 3. Apply novel characterization techniques to understand th...


Developing New Tools for Assessing Legacy Pollutants and their Ecological Consequences in Lakes Near Northwest Territories Mines
Principal Investigator: Blais, Jules M
Licensed Year(s): 2017 2016 2015
Summary: The research team propose to develop tools to assess risks associated with legacy industrial developments in a northern setting. The team will investigate contaminants from the Giant Mine near Yellowknife Northwest Territories (NT), which operated between 1948 and 2004, producing a legacy of contaminants including arsenic, antimony, hydrocarbons, mercury, and others. This remediation strategy appl...


Speciation and Mobility of Antimony in Sediment, Pore Water and Surface Water in the Region of the Giant Mine, Yellowknife
Principal Investigator: Fawcett, Skya
Licensed Year(s): 2007 2006 2005
Summary: Antimony originating from the operation of the Giant Mine will be studied to determine mobility, speciation, movement in the environment, and the geochemical controls on its release and attenuation. Dialysis arrays (peepers) will be used to collect pore waters from Baker Creek and Baker Pond on the Giant Mine site, and corers will be used to collect six cores from three aqueous environments on ...
