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 Province to be planned for 2000.
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 float planes to make daily traverses by foot or by boat to study the local rocks and collect small handsamples for laboratory work.
