Summary: The major objective of this proposed 2015 fieldwork is twofold. Firstly, the principle investigator (PI) aims to conduct a comprehensive literature review of the mining- and environment-related materials held at the Déline Land Corporation in order to enrich their understanding of this history as it is understood by the community. Secondly, the PI wants to assist in the creation of a real archive ...

Summary: The main objectives of the field work for 2009 to 2013 will be to determine if the EKATI mine is having an effect on the surrounding aquatic environment and air quality to provide baseline data for areas where mine development may occur in the future. In winter, water samples will be collected under ice using a 5L Niskin (a cylindrical PVC water sampler). During the week of spring freshet, hy...

Summary: The objective of the 2012 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. Water, sediment and aquatic organisms will be collected at up to 11 stations (10 lakes) within the Thor Lake area. Most ...

Principal Investigator: Farrell, Rory
Licensed Year(s): 2012
Summary: The objective of this research is to take specific samples for the completion of a remedial action plan and risk assessment for the Five Mine Sites. The field component of the project will be conducted over a two day period. Limited soil and mine tailing samples from the most contaminated areas of the site will be taken. These areas were previously identified in past environmental site asses...

Summary: Blyth & Bathe Inc purposes to conduct a Traditional Knowledge study that will serve as a starting point for the commencement of Devonian Metals’ environmental and socio-economic research, and will greatly improve the quality of data produced by the studies leading up to and during the permitting process. Blyth & Bathe Inc, in conjunction with the Pehdzeh Ki First Nation (PKFN liaison), will dev...

Principal Investigator: Trusler, Scott
Licensed Year(s): 2012 2008
Summary: The objectives of the research studies are the following: refine understanding of baseline conditions; provide input to design mitigation; evaluate potential changes in the environment in relation to the Izok Project; and contribute to the ongoing data collection of the Arctic environment. The Minerals and Metals Group (MMG) Canada team of environmental consultants will collect and review exist...

Principal Investigator: Purdy, Colin
Licensed Year(s): 2012
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...
