Objective(s): To improve the geological understanding of the Slave Province in general and specific key areas in more detail (eg. area northeast of Yellowknife known as the "Sleepy Dragon Complex", and the Acarta gneiss complex" etc.) This will contribute to a new geological map for the Slave Geological Province.
Project Description: Map and describe the various rock types and assess their role in the complex geological history of the Slave Province. Fly-in / fly-out camps with small airplanes and small campsites to make daily traverses by boat or foot to study the local rocks. Small samples will be taken of interesting rocks; samples are fist sized.
