Characterization of precious metal-bearing base metal mineralization at the Homer Lake prospect, Yellowknife greenstone belt, Northwest Territories
chercheur principal: Knox, Bernadette
Année(s) de permis: 2023
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5565. The purpose of this project is designed to understand the environment in which the volcanic rocks were formed. The styles of mineralization will be looked at to understand if they formed at the same time as the volcanoes or much later. This work will be done by analyzing rock chemistry, and looking at very thin piec...


Metallogeny and critical mineral potential of middle Cretaceous manganiferous, phosphatic ironstones of the Rapid Creek Formation, Yukon
chercheur principal: Gadd, Michael
Année(s) de permis: 2021
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5077. Ironstones are marine biochemical sedimentary rocks with >15 wt.% Fe that commonly occur together with phosphorites. Phosphorites are chemical sedimentary rocks that form in response to coastal upwelling. An exceptionally large accumulation of phosphatic ironstones is located in the Rapid Creek Formation within the no...


Geothermal reservoir characterization of the Manetoe dolomite facies of the Nahanni Formation, Mackenzie Mountains area, Northwest Territories
chercheur principal: Rocheleau, Jonathan
Année(s) de permis: 2021
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4969. The aim of the proposed fieldwork is to characterize the reservoir for potential geothermal resources in Fort Liard by studying the same rock formation where it is accessible at surface. By looking at how the Nahanni Formation changes both horizontally and vertically in a surface outcrop the research team can infer ho...


Quaternary stratigraphy in the Redstone River area
chercheur principal: Normandeau, Philippe X.
Année(s) de permis: 2017
Résumé: The research team will investigate sections of exposed sediments along the Redstone River banks and some minor tributaries to establish the provenance and composition of these sediments. The team will evaluate the possible presence of ancient preglacial sediments buried beneath glacial sediments. It is also believed that ancient lake sediment may be present outside of the present flood plains of t...


Petrogenesis of the Acasta Gneiss Complex: Ancient Rocks Revisited
chercheur principal: Reimink, Jesse R
Année(s) de permis: 2014 2013 2012 2011
Résumé: The present study aims to obtain information with the following objectives: 1) further describe, sample, and document field relationships and structures present in areas that were sampled and found to be significantly old (>3.8 billion years); 2) explore and sample other units which based on field relationships and mineralogy are likely to be as old or older than previously documented samples; and...


Reconnaissance Study of Smoking Hills
chercheur principal: Dunfield, Peter F
Année(s) de permis: 2013
Résumé: The objective of this work is to conduct a one day reconnaissance study of the Smoking Hills area. Mineral, rock, water and soil samples will be collected. Geochemical properties and microbial communities will be analysed in the laboratory in order to characterize any potential features unique to this site that would warrant future, more detailed research. The site will be accessed by helicopt...


Mineralogy, Geochemistry, and Fluid Inclusions of the Caribou Lake Layered Mafic-Ultramafic Intrusion
chercheur principal: Neyedley, Kevin
Année(s) de permis: 2013
Résumé: 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...


Heavy mineral indicator tracing in glaciated terrains
chercheur principal: Kjarsgaard, Bruce
Année(s) de permis: 2012 2011
Résumé: The objective of this study is to improve understanding of transportation and deposition of heavy minerals in surficial materials (till and esker systems). The study area is approximately 60 x 100 km, is located east of Thaydene Nene National Park, and adjacent to the Quaternary ice divide. Work on the ground, over a 2 week period, will involve sample collection of surficial materials in order...


Hydrothermal event recognition and vectoring to SEDEX ore system in shale basins, Yukon and NWT
chercheur principal: Paradis, Suzanne
Année(s) de permis: 2013 2012 2011
Résumé: The objectives of this research project are to identify some proximal (close) and distal (at a distance) mineralogical and chemical elements that will indicate that rocks in a sedimentary basin are likely or not to be rich in metals; and to understand how metals were emplaced in rocks, and how they disperse once the rocks are weathered. This has implications for the land, environment and mineral i...


Waste rock studies at a diamond mine site
chercheur principal: Blowes, David W.
Année(s) de permis: 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2005
Résumé: This research study is designed to investigate the processes related to water quality and quantity (collected at different scales) draining from country rock stockpiles that are located in areas of continuous permafrost. The quality of water draining from a country rock stockpile is determined by the combined effects of oxygen transport in the air phase, biogeochemical processes that control miner...
