Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4979. The goal of this project is to map the regional structural geometry outside of the Howard's Pass district to integrate the timing and geometry of deformation into the interpretation at Howard's Pass and how Cretaceous deformation as affected the Zn-Pb ore bodies and the surrounding region. The March Fault structure wa...

Summary: The objective of this study is to determine what controls whether rare earth elements are mobile under low temperature and moderate to high pH conditions. Four 55 gallon barrels cut in half will be set up at Thor Lake with mine tailings in them. The tailings will be allowed to weather in the local environment. Samples of the tailings and waters in them will be sampled at the beginning, and then...

Summary: The objective of the 2011 Aquatics program is to continue baseline data collection to further characterize the baseline water and sediment quality and aquatic communities at specific lakes within the Thor Lake area and Avalon's Thor Lake Rare Earth Elements Project footprint. The 2011 Fisheries program will focus on the lakes directly affected by and immediately downstream of the proposed Tailings...

Summary: The objective of the Darnley Bay Resources (DBR) Ltd. 2010 - 2012 Field Program is to collect additional information on the Darnley Bay gravity anomaly and to assess kimberlite pipe targets. Six field programs have been proposed (geological prospecting and sampling, claim staking, ground geophysical surveys, bathymetric surveys and two drilling programs) and data collected will aid in DBR's interp...

Principal Investigator: Lennie-Misgeld, Peter
Licensed Year(s): 2009
Summary: The baseline study is being conducted to aid Avalon Ventures in assessing potential environmental effects of its activities and having adequate environmental information to support filing of regulatory applications in the future. Two years of data collection is important for obtaining baseline ground water hydrology and quality data where seasonal changes in groundwater levels, recharge and discha...

Principal Investigator: Sibbald, Carey
Licensed Year(s): 2009 2008
Summary: This licence is issued for the scientific research application #912. The objective of this research is to provide baseline information on the terrain in and around the Thor Lake area. Filed observations will allow the researchers to produce a terrain map of the Thor lake area. To do this, the land must be categorized based on landforms, mineral deposits, drainage, slopes and geohazards (fo...

Principal Investigator: Carroll, Paul
Licensed Year(s): 2007
Summary: , in accordance to the EISC RECOMMENDATIONS in late October 2007. Fieldwork is being licenced confined to March-April 2008. The purpose of this project is to conduct Global Positioning Satellite (GPS)-based gradiometer magnetometer surveys, by JVX on behalf of Diadem. Within the mineral claims, 28 potential targets have been identified in priority sequence to be surveyed. The number of surveys ...

Summary: The project is aimed at obtaining a better understanding of the bedrock geology and mineral potential of the South Bear area. Southern Bear project area is in the Bear Structural Province of the Northwest Territories centred approximately 240 km north-northwest of Yellowknife. Geological data on the area is sparse and limited to 1:250 000 regional mapping by the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC...

Principal Investigator: Wrye, Lori A
Licensed Year(s): 2007
Summary: The aim of this research project is to examine the speciation of arsenic in soils around the Giant Mine, and to distinguish if the arsenic is of natural or anthropogenic sources. Soils in the study area are naturally enriched in arsenic as well as from the mining of gold. The results will help understand how much of the arsenic is the result of human impact, how bioavailable it is, and how it move...

Licensed Year(s): 2003 2002
Summary: The purpose of this project is to develop exploration guidelines for emeralds in the NWT. We propose to spend July 2002 in the Lened area, where we will produce detailed geological maps and collect samples for laboratory analysis (whole-rock chemistry, e...
