Objective(s): To enhance bedrock and surficial geologic mapping in the Slave Structural Province in order to further understanding of the province's metallogenic potential and geologic evolution;
Project Description: Mapping of bedrock and surfical geology will be conducted in numerous parts of the geologic Slave Province. Specific studies of the bedrock, such as its stratigraphy, the nature of the granitic rocks, how the rocks deformed and metamorphosed, and isotopic dating will provide insight on the geologic evolution of this part (Slave Province) of the Canadian Sheild.
