Report of activities for the GEM-2 predictive surficial geology mapping derived from LANDSAT 7, Rae, NTS 85-K, Northwest Territories : GEM-2 Mackenzie Project / P.D. Morse, D.E. Kerr, S.A. Wolfe. : M183-2/8123E-PDF

"The Geo-mapping for Energy and Minerals (GEM) program lays the foundation for sustainable economic development in the North, and the Mackenzie Corridor region of interest represents the largest unmapped (bedrock and surficial geology) area of Northwest Territories. The lack of geologic knowledge in this area is a significant detriment to the economic potential of the region. The Rae map (NTS 85-K) identifies surficial geology and associated landforms left by the retreat of the last glaciers which covered the area about 9500 years ago. This preliminary map of surficial geology is based on remote predictive mapping, airphoto interpretation and limited fieldwork. The goal is to develop a timely first-version map, validated in selected areas and reviewed by geological experts, which reasonably depicts the distribution of surficial sediments for northern industry exploration and development purposes"--Abstract, page 3.
