NWT RESEARCH DATABASE

Principal Investigator: Tella, S.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1992
Summary: Bedrock mapping will take place through daily foot traverses Bedrock geological information will be collected to produce geological maps. This will be done in order to assess the economic potential of the region....

Principal Investigator: Groat, Lee A.
Licensed Year(s): 1995 1994 1993
Summary: The researchers will continue their study, begun in 1993, on the pegmatites found in the Selwyn Mountains and other western Canadian locations. Pegmatites contain rare elements such as lithium, beryllium, rubidium, niobium, cesium and talalum. This study will result in a summary of information on pegmatites, including detailed information on their classification, origins and economic potential....

Principal Investigator: Hollett, Jeff
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The researcher will survey the Whale Cove area to determine the types of macroalgae (i.e., seaweed) present. Samples of the seaweed collected will be examined in consultation with Canadian Kelp Resources Ltd. for their economic potential as exotic types of tea. Species that show promise as ingredients in tea products will also be analyzed for the presence of contaminants....

Principal Investigator: Henderson, J.R.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1992
Summary: This year's field work will complete the geological mapping exercise that was started in 1992. The researcher will document, measure and collect various types of rocks found in the area in order to determine the distribution of the various rock types and to under- stand how they originally formed. Most of these rocks are among the oldest known in Canada, with some being over 2.5 billion years ol...

Principal Investigator: Aspler, L.B.
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992
Summary: The researcher and his team will map by foot and boat traverse the three dimensional geometry of rocks deposited in ancient (2,500-1,900 million year old) sedimentary basins, their subsequent deformation and their economic potential....

Principal Investigator: Jackson, G.D.
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The first of two field seasons, the project will map and study the bedrock. Of major interest are the nature and origins of the rocks, their structures, economic potential, ages and possible correlations with similar rocks in other regions....

Principal Investigator: Thompson, Peter H.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1992
Summary: Using a combination of regional bedrock mapping, detailed mapping, and special studies in the fields of petrology, structural geology, geochronology, geophysics, metallogeny and surficial geology, the research will determine the origin, evolution and economic potential of part of the Slave Structural Province, Canadian Shield....

Principal Investigator: Rainbird, Robert H
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: This is the first year of a 3-4 year program designed to up- date the present geological database for the Precambrian geology of northwestern Victoria Island. The study will involve 6-8 weeks of fieldwork. Researchers will collaborate both logistically and scientifically with Noranda Exploration Inc. who plan to be working in the same area....

Principal Investigator: Brand, Uwe
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992
Summary: The Researchers will study sedimentary rocks and fossils that were formed more than 350 million years ago in warm tropical seas. The study helps to interpret the ancient environments and will outline which rock units were most favourable to generating and hosting economic mineral deposits....

Principal Investigator: Gebert, James
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991 1990
Summary: The Researcher will produce a map of the area showing rock types, geological structure and mineralization....
