    2018 Abstract and Summary Volume Cover photograph Carcajou River, NWT; Viktor Terlaky, Senior Petroleum Geologist at the Northwest Territories Geological Survey The picture was taken following a rainstorm along Carcajou River, NWT, which resulted in a spectacular rainbow across the river valley. In the background are outcrops of the Late Devonian Imperial Formation, interpreted to be submarine turbidite deposits. The light bands are sandstone bodies intercalated with the darker shale intervals, representing periodic activity in sedimentation. Compiled by D. Irwin, S.D. Gervais, and V.

  • 03 Thor Lake Project DAR Description of Local Communities and Socio-Economic Conditions
    May 2011 344 3.0 DESCRIPTION OF LOCAL COMMUNITIES AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC CONDITIONS 3.1 LAND USE Avalon‘s Nechalacho Mine site is located at Thor Lake in the Mackenzie Mining District of the Northwest Territories, within the North Slave Region, about 5 km north of the Hearne Channel of Great Slave Lake and approximately 100 km southeast of the City of Yellowknife (Figure 3.1-1). The proposed TLP has two site components: an underground mine and flotation plant (Nechalacho Mine and Flotation Plant site) at the Thor Lake Property; and a hydrometallurgical plant (Hydrometallurgical Plant site) at the brownfields site of the former Pine Point Mine. The former Pine Point Mine site is located 85 km east of Hay River, NWT and 102 km west of Fort Resolution on the south shore of Great Slave Lake, within the South Slave Region. This area comprises the largest brownfields site in the NWT, estimated at approximately 3,425 ha using digital image analysis, of which approximately 1,771 ha are located within the Hydrometallurgical Plant local study area. The two Project sites are within the Akaitcho Dene asserted traditional territory and are subject to the comprehensive land claim negotiation between the Akaitcho Dene First Nations (Yellowknives Dene First Nation (Dettah), Yellowknives Dene First Nation (N‘Dilo), Lutsel K‘e Dene First Nation, and Deninu Ku‘e First Nation) and the federal government. The Akaitcho Dene First Nations (ADFN), the Government of Canada, and the Government of the Northwest Territories are currently working to achieve a lands, resources and governance agreement (INAC 2007a).
