Mineralogy, Geochemistry, and Fluid Inclusions of the Caribou Lake Layered Mafic-Ultramafic Intrusion
Principal Investigator: Neyedley, Kevin
Licensed Year(s): 2013
Summary: The purpose of the study is to examine the rocks near Blachford lake lodge to gain a better understanding of how they formed and why there are there. Initial mapping has shown that they are unusual with more iron and nickel in them than would be normally expected and we would like to look at them to better understand their history. There have been exploration companies interested in these rocks an...


Nahanni Mineral and Energy Resource Assessment (MERA2)
Principal Investigator: Falck, Hendrik
Licensed Year(s): 2005 2004
Summary: Parks Canada would like to expand the existing Nahanni National Park Reserve. Before this can be done, mineral and energy resource assessment (MERA) study is needed for the Greater Nahanni Ecosystem so that mineral deposits or oil fields that could provide jobs and wealth for Northerners and Canadians are not overlooked. This study has five main steps: 1) Review all available bedrock geology ...


Snowbird Lake Mapping Project
Principal Investigator: Martel, Edith
Licensed Year(s): 2004
Summary: The mapping team (5-6 researchers) will be flown out by floatplane from Yellowknife in early June and a camp will be established. Island campsites are preferred as a deterrent against bear encounters. With the aid of zodiac-style inflatable boats, the re...


Structural Geology of the Jackson Lake Formation.
Principal Investigator: Martel, Edith
Licensed Year(s): 2001
Summary: The research team will be transported from Yellowknife by aircraft, and will travel by small boat in the field. Samples (fist-sized chunks of rock) will be collected with a hammer, and returned to the laboratory for detailed physical and chemical analysis. Field camps will be low impact, and will be occupied by only 2 persons at a time. All human waste will be buried, all non-burnable garbage w...


Geochemical Study of Graphitic Pegmatite Dikes and Associated Gneisses near Ghost Lake, District of Mackenzie, Northwest Territories
Principal Investigator: Farquhar, James
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992
Summary: The researcher and his team will study chemical and physical interactions between granitic magma and its host rocks. The research aims to characterize both the metamorphic conditions (temperature and pressure of metamorphism) and the chemical changes that occur as a result of interaction between the magma and the metamorphic gneisses....
