QANURITTUT Tukihiannaqtunik havaariyauyumayumik uqauhiuyun Qablunaatitut: The research project Boothia-Somerset: Integrated Geoscience of the Northwest Passage is primarily undertaking bedrock mapping by foot traverse of a 17,500 km2 region for which knowledge stems from 1963 and 1986 mapping without benefit of aeromagnetic constraints or age constraints. This activity will significantly upgrade the outdated geoscience framework of this area, expand the impact of new geo-constraints on the mainland (GEM-2 RAE Thelon Activity findings), and provide relevant data and knowledge to this remote region of Nunavut that, because of global warming and the resulting increased shipping, will increasingly be exposed to matters related to resource assessment and economic development.The primary activity (July 9 –August 13, 2018) involves daily foot traverses, 8-12 km in length, by pairs of mappers. Six traverse pairs will be set out at different locations each morning by helicopter, and will be picked up sequentially each evening by helicopter. During the day, the helicopter will mostly remain at the basecamp. Observations and interpretations of rock exposures will be recorded on traverse with a hand-held, battery-operated computer and downloaded each evening into the project database. These observations will be integrated with available aeromagnetic data to define and characterize bedrock units. Fist-size samples taken with hammer by hand will yield additional age/timing information and lithogeochemical data from which mineral prospectivity can be assessed. Collectively, the nature, age, and deformation history of the region will be resolved and portrayed in new publically- available maps and reports.Helicopter is the primary transportation mode, with flying not more than 3 hours per day, mainly to drop off traverse pairs and retrieve them sequentially each evening. A twin otter flight from Resolute Bay every ten days will bring groceries, mail and transport local residents to and from the camp.Operations will take place from a low-impact, temporary, tent camp to be constructed with material brought in and flown out when completed. The proposed camp site, located 200 km south of the Resolute Bay, is located near Creswell Bay where there is an existing fixed-wing Twin Otter landing strip and fresh drinking water. Office and Kitchen shelter will be constructed with 12’ by 14’ cotton tents supported by aluminum poles, while small, cotton, single centre-pole (Logan) tents will provide individual, personal sleeping space. The overarching intent of this project is to make available modern knowledge for a region between Taloyoak and Resolute Bay, so that stakeholders can understand and assess its geological history and mineral resource potential using up-to-date, relevant data. Uiviititut: En 2017, l’activité Géosciences intégrées presqu’île de Boothia-île Somerset dans la région du passage du Nord-Ouest de GEM 2 a effectué pendant six semaines la cartographie du substratum rocheux avec l’appui de nouvelles données de levé aéromagnétique à haute résolution, ainsi que des études des strates paléozoïques et des roches superficielles à travers la presqu’île de Boothia. La région est une zone pionnière dont les connaissances sont tirées des cartographies réalisées en 1962 et 1986, mais qui n’avaient pas bénéficié des contraintes qu’auraient apportées des levés aéromagnétiques ou la géochronologie U Pb. La nouvelle cartographie et les ensembles de données à valeur ajoutée amélioreront grandement le cadre géoscientifique désuet de cette région, étendront les effets des conclusions de l’activité Rae/Thelon de GEM 2 sur le continent (Berman et coll. 2014, Berman et coll. 2016) et fourniront des données et des connaissances pertinentes sur cette région isolée du Nunavut laquelle, à cause du réchauffement planétaire et la hausse subséquente du trafic maritime, sera de plus en plus exposée aux enjeux d’évaluation des ressources et de développement économique.

This mapping project is focussed at understanding nature and history of the earth some 3 billion to 1800 million years ago. As such, we will walk the land where the crystalline rocks (granites, metamorphic rocks) are exposed. These craggy rocks support little biological cover, mainly lichen and very small plants in cracks and crevasses. Caribou, polar bear and muskox are expected to roam the land and their migration, feeding and habitat will not be disturbed by this work. In the event wildlife is observed from the helicopter, the aircraft will gain altitude keeping far away from grazing wildlife.

Face-to-face consultation with organizations and residents of Resolute Bay was initiated in January 2018 and has included two visits to Resolute Bay and one meeting (Marth and Nathaniel Kalluq) in Ottawa. Agreement has been established with the Hamlet of Resolute Bay that a Letter of Agreement will allow hiring of residents interested in participating in this geoscience project as field/prospecting assistants; camp assistants; and cook’s assistants (see Project Documents for job positions in English and Inuktitut). Groceries will be purchased locally from Tudjaat Co-op, and supplemented where needed so that reserves for local consumption are not depleted. In 2017, 13 residents from Taloyoak were hired to assist in the camp and on the land. In 2018, we anticipate the need for approximately fifteen positions for local residents of Resolute Bay since the mapping area has shifted northwards. Like last year, we will seek students enrolled in the Environmental Technology Program (ETP) at Arctic College to join the research team, so their training in Earth Sciences and Environmental monitoring can continue in a working research camp environment.

No permanent or long-term environmental impacts are expected from geoscience mapping of northern Boothia Peninsula and western Somerset Island, or at the proposed base camp site near Creswell Bay. With the permission of Nunavut Research Institute (NRI), the Qikiqtani and Kitikmeot Inuit associations, the Nunavut Water Board (NWB), the Nunavut Impact Review Board (NIRB) and Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC/INAC), we will erect a temporary, low-impact base camp for the duration of the mapping project. A relatively quiet helicopter (Bell 407) will be the only vehicle stationed at the field camp. The camp site was chosen to utilize an existing air strip so that a Twin Otter can bring in the equipment needed to set up and take down the base camp, as well as 100 sealed drums of aviation fuel. The site will be thoroughly cleaned following demobilization and everything brought back to Resolute Bay and then to Ottawa via Sea Lift. All combustible garbage will be incinerated and the chilled ashes flown out from the site. Non-combustible materials will be sorted for recycling at the Resolute landfill site. A fuel cache will be established at the camp which will store no more than 100 drums of aviation fuel, and 4 drums of gasoline. The fuel will be stored in a self- supporting insta-berm and spill kits will be close by.Regular inspection and maintenance of all equipment and all fuels in accordance with recognized and accepted standard practices at the camp will reduce any risks identified above. The fuel cache at the main camp will be inspected daily. Propane tanks will be transported with appropriate Dangerous Goods documentation. Tanks will be stored and secured in an upright position. Valves will be checked regularly and sealed with Teflon tape, where required.
