20222021 Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5493.
The aim of the project is to locate areas with high potential for critical minerals mineralization. The results are intended to incentivize exploration for critical minerals and technology metals in the territory. This is particularly important now given the high demand for these commodities and the imminent closure o...

Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5429.
The objective of this research is to better understand the lithological host rocks, mineralization controls and timing of the intrusions at the Colomac Deposit, Goldcrest Deposit and the broader supracrustal rocks that host gold mineralization within the greenstone belt. This added understanding will support further d...

Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5296.
The research team aim to enhance mineral exploration success in glaciated terrains of northern Canada and generate knowledge about northern soil microbiome controls on greenhouse gas emissions.
Soil samples will be collected over-top of a variety of geologically relevant structures, including kimberlite-hosted diam...

Summary:
The research team have chosen this site in the Northwest Territories to collect coal samples from, as it contains the Cretaceous-Paleogene sandstone and iridium-anomaly that places the ages of these coals in that period. The team will access pristine coal samples by excavating the weathered rock back by 1 m (using spade and shovel). They will then sample a vertical profile by collecting coal sampl...

Summary:
The objective is to scope the Imperial Formation in order to develop a more extensive future study of this formation, and to sample the sites for conodont fossil bearing carbonates in order to better age date the Horn River Group deposits.
At each site the rock exposure will be photographed in detail. At Mountain River and Gayna Gorge the outcrop will be sampled for conodont fossil bearing car...

Summary:
The objective of this airborne survey is to acquire high-resolution aeromagnetic data. This survey will be flown to improve our knowledge of the area. It will support potential future ground-based geological mapping and to provide basic information to support mineral exploration.
The survey will consist of approximately 27,600 line km of surveying flown at a line spacing of 500 m (or 1,640 feet...

20172016 Summary:
The objectives of this project are to update and increase the understanding of the geological history of an area along the Beaulieu River.
The work will be conducted mostly on foot with access to the shore provided by canoe and zodiac boat. Notes on the geology will be taken and entered into a database. Holes up to 1m in depth will be dug to make observations and take samples of the till, the h...

2017 Summary:
Recent evolving thoughts on the geological history of the East Arm of Great Slave Lake require the area to be re-evaluated with respect to its structural and metamorphic history as well as to explain its metal endowment. This study seeks to evaluate the structural and metamorphic history of the area, and its potential to host economic mineralization.
Field investigations will examine exposures ...
