Project Metadata

NGR lake sediments for NTS mapsheets27B, 27C, 37A and 37D were reanalysed by INAA, and the data were published in GSC Open File 3716.

On September 17th, 1997, the Geological Survey of Canada, the Qikiqtaaluk Corporation, the Government of the Northwest Territories' Department of Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development, and the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs' Northwest Territories Geology Division, launched the North Baffin Partnership Project. The primary goal of this one year collaborative geoscience project was to develop a digital geoscience knowledge base and mineral potential assessment of northern Baffin Island and northern Melville Peninsula. This project represented a new model for northern geoscience program delivery, and efforts were focused on generating a suite of integrated geoscience information products that would be useful to the mineral exploration industry, land-use planners, and local communities and governments.
