Project Description

Main objectives:

Work completed in 2008 and 2009 was focused the characterization of supracrustal rocks at Southern Indian lake (Pukatawakan Bay and Partridge Breast belts). Preliminary results of this work were published in the report of activities and as preliminary maps (see completed outputs below) but were not published in final format.

This project aims to expand the mapping at Southern Indian lake (this time focusing in the voluminous plutonic rocks) and release all the data in a Geological report.

Methodology:

  • Bibliographic search and compilation of previous work
  • 1:50 000 scale lithological mapping
  • Sample collection for whole rock lithogeochemistry, assay, isotopic and geochronological studies
  • Assess potential for base and precious metals, rare metals, and diamonds

 

Benefits:

This project is intended to synthesize and expand on the work completed in previous years, and thus contribute to the knowledge and understanding of the Southern Indian domain in general, as well as its boundary with the Chipewyan batholith. The results from this project will have implications for the tectonostratigraphic interpretation of the Trans Hudson Orogen, as well as implications for mineral potential.

With this project we aim to stimulate mineral exploration in this region since this area is thought to have potential for base and precious metals, rare metals, and possibly diamonds.
