Objective(s): To conduct geological mapping of bedrock in order to update geological knowledge of the area (it was last mapped in 1940); and to use this information in order to understand the geological evolution of this part of the Slave Province.
Project Description: This will be the final field season of this bedrock mapping project, which is being done to update geological knowledge in the Lac de Gras area (which was last mapped in the 1940s). Detailed mapping, geochemical and geochronologcical studies will be used to help understand the geological evolution of this area. Mapping will be accomplished by foot and boat traverse with fixed and rotany wing support.
