Geological Fieldwork in Mackenzie Plain and Adjacent Mountains.
Principal Investigator: MacNaughton, Robert B.
Licensed Year(s): 2012 2011 2010 2009
Summary: The goal of this project is to increase the geoscience knowledge of the NWT, particularly around Norman Wells and Tulita, and in the surrounding mountains, to provide public geoscience information to all stakeholders through the production of bedrock geology maps and related reports on petroleum potential, and to encourage new and more effective exploration for oil and gas that will lead to social...


Sedimentology of the Cretaceous in the Mackenzie Corridor
Principal Investigator: Davison, Julia
Licensed Year(s): 2008
Summary: This licence was issued for the application # 831. The objective of this study is to improve the detail on publicly-available maps and look at unanswered geological questions about Cretaceous rocks in the Sahtu region. Geological tools have changed sufficiently since the previous maps were made to warrant another more detail-focused study. The aim of the field work is to make measurements and c...


Nahanni Mineral and Energy Resource Assessment (MERA) 2
Principal Investigator: Falck, Hendrik
Licensed Year(s): 2005 2004
Summary: The objective of this project is to complete a mineral and energy resource assessment (MERA) for the Greater Nahanni Ecosystem. A MERA is a study that tries to estimate whether or not there are metals, gems, or oil/gas in an area, and is required by Fed...


Non-renewable resource assessment (initial field work phase, Sahyoue)
Principal Investigator: Gal, Leonard
Licensed Year(s): 2003 2002
Summary: The objective of the fieldwork is to further assess the non-renewable resource potential (NRA) of the area, as a follow-up to the completed Phase 1 NRA which was based upon the review of existing data. This assessment is being carried out as part of the...


Examination of selected Kamik formation outcroppings in the Richardson Mountains
Principal Investigator: Prost, Gary
Licensed Year(s): 2004 2002
Summary: The general purpose of the trip is to examine sites where the Kamik formation is at the surface and to collect rock samples. The site visits are important to work relating to the development of Conoco's interest at Parsons Lake in the Inuvialuiit Settlem...


Structural Geology of the Jackson Lake Formation.
Principal Investigator: Martel, Edith
Licensed Year(s): 2001
Summary: The research team will be transported from Yellowknife by aircraft, and will travel by small boat in the field. Samples (fist-sized chunks of rock) will be collected with a hammer, and returned to the laboratory for detailed physical and chemical analysis. Field camps will be low impact, and will be occupied by only 2 persons at a time. All human waste will be buried, all non-burnable garbage w...


Volcanological and Sedimentological Evolution of the Slave Province along the Beniah Lk. Fault
Principal Investigator: Corcoran, Patricia
Licensed Year(s): 1997
Summary: Research involves mapping and sampling of rocks for geological study. Equipment and all crew members will be transported to and removed from base camps by float plane (twin or turbine otter). A zodiac with 10-20 hsp motors will be used to travel within the study area. Rock samples (5-15 lbs) will be collected, small and large-scale maps will be compiled. The study will provide information about...


Geochemical Study of Graphitic Pegmatite Dikes and Associated Gneisses near Ghost Lake, District of Mackenzie, Northwest Territories
Principal Investigator: Farquhar, James
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992
Summary: The researcher and his team will study chemical and physical interactions between granitic magma and its host rocks. The research aims to characterize both the metamorphic conditions (temperature and pressure of metamorphism) and the chemical changes that occur as a result of interaction between the magma and the metamorphic gneisses....
