Download or read book Drift Composition and Glacial Dispersal Trains Baker Lake Area District of Keewatin Northwest Territories written by R. A. Klassen and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the District of Keewatin, glacial dispersal trains defined by lithology and geochemistry can be mapped at regional, local, and detailed scales. The trains reflect glacial dynamics and the bedrock composition. This report investigates the glacial dispersal trains in the area of Baker Lake, inshore from northwestern Hudson Bay. It reviews the study area's physiography, vegetation, bedrock and Quaternary geology, and glacial history; describes the study methods used, including till sampling, drill core examination, and geochemical and lithological analyses; and presents and discusses the study results. These results include till geochemistry and pebble lithology at regional and local scale, detailed glacial dispersal patterns at the Kazan River and Bissett Lake sites, and subsurface compositional variations. The implications of the results for mineral exploration based on drift prospecting are discussed.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume describes the use of till geochemical and indicator mineral methods for mineral exploration in the glaciated terrain of Canada. The principles and examples described in this volume will have direct applications for exploration companies looking for diamonds, precious and base metals and uranium in glaciated parts of North America, northern Europe and Asia and mountainous regions of South America.

Download or read book Geological Survey of Canada Current Research Online no 2005 B2 written by Isabelle McMartin and published by Natural Resources Canada. This book was released on 2005 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents results from a Quaternary mapping project conducted in two areas of central mainland Nunavut that were located beneath the Keewatin Ice Divide during the last glaciation. Field work included surficial mapping, regional-scale till sampling, stratigraphic studies, and ice-flow indicator surveys. The paper summarizes the findings related to ice flow directions, patterns, and the sequence of flow events in the two map areas. Preliminary interpretations are offered of the ice flow record from the oldest recognized ice-flow events to the most recent flows.

Download or read book Overview of Quaternary Research for the Committee Bay Project Central Nunavut written by Edward C. Little and published by Natural Resources Canada. This book was released on 2002 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents an overview of the field research conducted during the 2001 season, along with preliminary field observations, from the second year of the Committee Bay Project's Quaternary studies. The objectives of these studies are to compile high-resolution terrain inventories for the Laughland Lake, Walker Lake, Arrowsmith River, and Ellice Hills map areas of central Nunavut; to begin a reconnaissance-scale drift prospecting program that utilizes both heavy-mineral & till geochemical analyses; and to interpret the glacial history at local & regional scales. After introductory sections on regional geology, previous research, and sampling & survey methods, the paper summarizes preliminary results from field observations regarding generalized ice movements & glacial landforms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study describes the petroleum geology of Triassic exploration plays; provides an assessment of remaining natural gas potential; gives an economic analysis using information from exploration results; and applies an investment decision methodology to estimate the quantity of economically recoverable resources. The study is largely confined to the Peace River Arch/Embayment area and excludes Foothills structural plays.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report results from an investigation of the Quaternary geology & geomorphology of the south half of Melville Peninsula, Nunavut. The purpose of the investigation was to map the area systematically in order to determine the distribution, character, & origin of surface materials and to reconstruct the Quaternary history of the area. The first part provides background information on previous research, bedrock geology, and physiography of the area. The next part describes the nature & distribution of surficial materials & landforms, including information on their physical properties, texture, & composition along with interpretation of their mode of formation. A subsequent section on present geomorphic processes addresses topics of particular interest to environmental concerns & land management. The final section emphasizes those elements that concern mineral exploration, specifically the provenance of till, directions & distances of glacial transport, concentrations of elements in till, and their relationship to bedrock geology.
