Principal Investigator: Siddorn, James
Licensed Year(s): 2001
Summary: All research to be conducted, either underground or on the surface, will be carried out at the Giant and Con mine sites in Yellowknife. Data on the origination of structural features (faults, foliations, folds, ect.) will be measured with a compass clinometer. Samples (< 10cm in diameter) will be taken of certain rock types which display interesting small scale structures....

Principal Investigator: Kerr, Daniel E.
Licensed Year(s): 2001 2000 1999
Summary: The primary objective is to provide geoscience data and new exploration techniques in the Yellowknife Greenstone Belt area that can be used in delineation of reserves and discovery of new mineral deposits. The main mode of transportation will be by helicopter (206L), float plane, truck (where road access is available), and possibly by boat. The helicopter and plane will be based out of Yellowkni...

Principal Investigator: Colpron, Maurice
Licensed Year(s): 1997
Summary: The project will be conducted from 10-12 tent fly-camps within the study area. Each camp will be set-out by helicopter (out of Norman Wells) and will be of a duration of approximately 5-7 days. Our work will consist of daily hikes from our camps, during which our observations of the rock types and mineral occurrences will be noted on 1:50,000-scale topographic maps and air photos. Data collectio...

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, ribidium, niobium, cesium and talalum. This study will result study will result in a summary of information on pegmatites, including detailed information on their classification, origins and...

Principal Investigator: Hogarth, D.D.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1992 1991
Summary: A geological map will be made and specimens of both "ores" and surrounding rock will be collected at Kodlunarn Island and Beare Sound. The rocks will be analyzed for normal rock-forming constituents and precious/platinum metals. Minerals will be analyzed by microprobe. The researcher will do this in order to detrmine if the Beare Sound ores belong to the same suite of metals as the Kodlunarn Is...

Principal Investigator: Hills, L.V.
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1991
Summary: The purpose of this research is to examine the fossil spores, pollen and dinoflagellates found in the sediments of Amund Ringnes and western Axel Heiberg Islands. Additional data will be collected on the rock formations and mineral content of the areas. This research provides information on the past life history of the region as well as information about the petroleum potential....

Principal Investigator: Stubley, Michael
Licensed Year(s): 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990
Summary: The research team will examine, document and take samples of the surface outcrops (rocks) in the study area. This information will be recorded on a map which will summarize the geological rock types and mineral resources of the area....

Principal Investigator: Irwin, Doug
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993
Summary: In this research, the Rankin-Ennadai Greenstone Belt located near Kaminak Lake will be mapped by examining and collecting rocks of the area. The information collected on this survey will be transferred onto a map. Rock types and mineral showings will be plotted on the map and related to geological features of the area....

Principal Investigator: Muecke, Gunter K.
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1990 1989
Summary: The researcher and his team will define the connection between the opening of the Arctic Ocean during the Cretaceous period, development of a continental margin, major crustal extension and rapid subsidence in the Sverdrup Basin, and voluminous basaltic magmatism. To achieve this, they will be investigating the field relations, petrology, mineralogy, geochemistry, and geochronology of magmatic ro...

Principal Investigator: Baragar, Robert
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: The Researchers will survey and samples exposures of suspected carbonatites discovered after field work in 1985....
