Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: 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...

Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5577. The objective of this project is to better understand the physical, chemical, and biological controls of the Rapid Creek Formation by collecting and analyzing samples (through fieldwork) and developing a new sequence stratigraphic framework for the purpose of uncovering its potential and enabling the identification of...

Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5493. The aim of the project is to locate areas with high potential for critical minerals mineralization. The results are intended to incentivize exploration for critical minerals and technology metals in the territory. This is particularly important now given the high demand for these commodities and the imminent closure o...

Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5403. This research will be guided by three objectives: 1) determine the largest possible contribution of mantle-derived heat sources; 2) establish a modern structural and tectono-metamorphic framework; and 3) evaluate evidence for mantle-derived heat input. Studies will involve field observations and targeted small-vol...

Licensed Year(s): 2018
Summary: The objective is to conduct a structural analysis of the Cantung Tungsten Mine and its geological environment to: 1) reconstruct the deformation history responsible for fold geometry that hosts the Cantung tungsten deposit; and 2) understand how the deformation at Cantung is linked to deformation history of the surrounding area. Research will be conducted through field mapping using a compass, ...

Summary: The objectives of this project are to update and increase the understanding of the geological history of an area along the Beaulieu River. The work will be conducted mostly on foot with access to the shore provided by canoe and zodiac boat. Notes on the geology will be taken and entered into a database. Holes up to 1m in depth will be dug to make observations and take samples of the till, the h...

Licensed Year(s): 2013 2012 2011
Summary: 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. To achieve the objectives, preliminary field work will continue during the summer months of July and August of 2013 and 2014. The field work consists of: - fam...

Principal Investigator: Grasby, Stephen
Licensed Year(s): 2005
Summary: In the summer of 2005, the researchers wish to visit two locations on Prince Patrick Island to examine some unusual rock formations referred to as cold-water seep mounds in order to better understand how they were formed. The work will consist of a 2-pe...
