Presents an examination of field relationships along the northern margin of Baker Lake Basin, Nunavut, with the goal of establishing the stratigraphy of the Dubawnt Supergroup in relation to paleogeography, depositional setting, and provenance. Includes information on the regional geology, local geology (Christopher Island Formation sedimentary & volcanic rocks, the newly named Amarook Formation, and the overlying Pitz and Thelon formations), and discusses faulting during the development of the Baker Lake Basin.

Presents & discusses findings of a study to determine whether differences in petrophysical characteristics previously observed between rocks from the Giant and Con mines were associated with the presence of soluble mineral phases in the rocks. The study involved monitoring the resistivity of water used to immerse samples from the two mines (basalt and sericite schist), over a period of 340 hours, after vacuum saturation. The results show the differences between the resistivity-time curves of the water in which the samples were immersed. Suggestions for further studies are presented in the conclusion.

A number of small lead/zinc occurrences are hosted by grey plant-debris-rich sandstone of the Late Carboniferous of the Canadian Maritimes. This paper documents field observations on the geological environment of one of these occurrences at Meadowville, Nova Scotia. The aim of the paper is to comment on the possible extent of this occurrence, to provide field criteria for exploration for Carboniferous sandstone lead/zinc deposits, and to provide data for genetic modelling of this type of deposit.

Presents geochronological age determinations of zircons from eight plutons in the Grenville Province, Ontario (Oso and Mountain Grove plutons in the Sharbot Lake domain; Silver Lake & Bennett Bay plutons and Fall River mangeritic augen gneiss associated with the Maberly shear zone; North Crosby & Pike Lake plutons in the north-west sheared part of the Frontenac terrane; and the Beales Mills pluton in the interior of the Frontenac terrane). The results are used to propose a re-interpretation of the tectonics of the Frontenac suite and the origin of the magmas responsible.

Presents and discusses results of effective porosity, bulk density, & electrical resistivity measurements made on samples from the Giant and Con gold mines, Northwest Territories. The samples represent mineralized and non-mineralized sections of the mines' quartz ankerite veins, sericite schist, chlorite schist, and basalt. The objective of the research is to provide basic data to be used in determining the petrophysical characteristics and electrical conductivity mechanism of these rocks, which would give information required to develop exploration strategies for aiding interpretation of electromagnetic survey data.

This report presents results of geologic fieldwork that updates mapping in the Sealhole-Fitzpatrick lakes area west of Hudson Bay, Nunavut, with a focus on the paleogeographic and structural evolution of the Henik, Montgomery, and Hurwitz groups. Along with descriptions of the Archean to Paleoproterozoic rocks and their stratigraphic relationships, the report discusses the area's geologic structure and the evidence for Archean and Paleoproterozoic deformation.

A distinctive group of giant quartz veins characterizes the Great Bear magmatic zone east of Great Bear Lake, Northwest Territories. They are topographically conspicuous, have attracted attention from mineral prospectors, and contain occurrences of uranium, copper sulphides, and other minerals. This paper presents results of the first study of fluid inclusions from giant quartz veins in this zone. Samples were studied from the Crowfoot and Ted uranium occurrences. It begins with descriptions of the regional geological setting, the quartz veins and associated stockworks, and the two occurrences studied. It then describes the fluid inclusion study methodology, petrographic observations, and temperature & salinity determinations of the fluid inclusion samples. The results are discussed with respect to the multi-stage developmental history of the quartz veins.
