Regional bedrock mapping of the Paleoproterozoic Hill Island Lake assemblage and underlying basement rocks
Principal Investigator: Canam, Rebecca
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5541. Objectives: To conduct regional bedrock mapping and supporting analytical work to improve our understanding of the tectonic framework of the Hill Island Lake area in the southeastern Northwest Territories. A total of 7 weeks will be spent in the field, from June 28, 2023 until August 15, 2023, in four different c...


South central Slave craton critical minerals bedrock mapping
Principal Investigator: Knox, Bernadette
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5525. The objective of this work is to update and increase the understanding of the geological history of this area of the north-central Slave craton, Northwest Territories. This work will be conducted mostly on foot with access along the water provided by canoe and zodiac boat. The research team will be walking the lan...


Watershed-scale geomorphic response to climate change in the Aklavik Range, NWT
Principal Investigator: Strauss, Justin Vincent
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5411. or this latest phase of research, the research team propose to integrate field observations, geochemical techniques, and historical remote sensing analysis to quantify the rates and processes by which sediment is generated from bedrock and transported downslope via hillslope and river processes under a changing climat...


Timing and metamorphic conditions of the Wopmay Fault, NWT
Principal Investigator: Dyck, Brendan
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5234. The research team will collect bedrock samples across the fault zone to date the timing of motion of the Wopmay Fault using geochronologic analyses of the minerals titanite, apatite & calcite, and determine the depth and temperatures that the fault rocks were at when the fault zone was active. The work will involv...


Formation of the Vanadium Mineralizatoin at the Van Property NWT
Principal Investigator: Gregory, Daniel David
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5188. The research team will conduct geological mapping on the Van property. This will include stratigraphic rock sampling above and below the known vanadium rich mineralization and possible rock sampling in areas of the property of geological interest. Geologic mapping is conducted by visually inspecting surface exposur...


East Arm basin targeted bedrock mapping project
Principal Investigator: Canam, Rebecca
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5175. The main research objective of this project is to conduct targeted bedrock mapping and supporting analytical work to improve our understanding of the tectonic framework of the East Arm basin. The research team aims to document the timing of crystallization and metamorphism of the basement rocks onto which the East Arm...


Glacial History and bedrock investigation in the Dessert Lake Drumlin Field, Northwest Territories.
Principal Investigator: Normandeau, Philippe X.
Licensed Year(s): 2021 2020
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4992. Surficial geology mapping and glacial history reconstruction play a crucial role in the understanding of Northern Canada. Not only are they essential to drift prospecting, a vital component of the northern mineral exploration, but they also support infrastructure development, help characterize terrain sensitivity and ...

Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4766. The objectives of this project are to update and increase the understanding of the geological history of this area of the north-central Slave craton, Northwest Territories. This work will be conducted mostly by foot with access along the water provided by canoe and zodiac boat. The research team will be walking the...


Nonacho bedrock mapping project
Principal Investigator: Martel, Edith
Licensed Year(s): 2021 2020 2019 2018
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4949. This project will examine sedimentary and volcanic rocks that were deposited on an old craton, in a basin that formed during the collision of two cratons. The research team aim to document which cratons were responsible for the basin’s formation and at what time they collided. The team will spend 20 days in the fie...


Mackenzie Mountains bedrock mapping and stratigraphic studies
Principal Investigator: MacNaughton, Robert B.
Licensed Year(s): 2018 2017
Summary: The objective of this research is to improve the public understanding of bedrock geology of two regions of the Mackenzie Mountains, including folding and faulting, stratigraphic relationships, tectonic history, and economic mineralogy. This objective includes sharing geoscience information with all interested parties through the production and publication of bedrock geology maps and reports on the...
