Objective(s): To improve the geological understanding of the area northeast of Yellowknife and the Slave Province in general. Traverses are made on foot from a small mobile campsite that is moved weekly from lake to lake. Small rock samples are collected and archived. Data are plotted on maps/airphotos and will be published for public use.
Project Description: The researchers will map and describe the various rock types and asses their role in a complex geological history. Fly-in/fly-out camps will small planes and small campsites to make daily traverses to study local rocks.
