    The Ninth North American Caribou Workshop, S7 Kuujjuaq, Québec, Canada, 23-27 April, 2001. Status, population fluctuations and ecological relationships of Peary caribou on the Queen Elizabeth Islands: Implications for their survival Frank L. Miller1 & Anne Gunn2 1 Canadian Wildlife Service, Prairie & Northern Region, Room 200, 4999 - 98th. Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta T6B 2X3 Canada ([email protected]). 2 Department of Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development, Government of the Northwest Territories, Box 1320, Yellowknife, Northwest Territories X1A 3S8 Canada. Abstract: The Peary caribou (Rangifer tarandus pearyi) was recognized as 'Threatened' by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada in 1979 and 'Endangered' in 1991. It is the only member of the deer family (Cervidae) found on the Queen Elizabeth Islands (QEI) of the Canadian High Arctic. The Peary caribou is a significant part of the region's biodiversity and a socially important and economically valuable part of Arctic Canada's natural heritage. Recent microsatellite DNA findings indicate that Peary caribou on the QEI are distinct from caribou on the other Arctic Islands beyond the QEI, including Banks Island. This fact must be kept in mind if any translocation of caribou to the QEI is pro• posed. The subspecies is too gross a level at which to recognize the considerable diversity that exists between Peary cari¬ bou on the QEI and divergent caribou on other Canadian Arctic Islands. The Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada should take this considerable diversity among these caribou at below the subspecies classification to mind when assigning conservation divisions (units) to caribou on the Canadian Arctic Islands.

It includes considerations on how the carved objects affected and played a role in Dorset social life. To consider the role of people, things and other beings that may be said to play as actors in interdependent entanglements of actions, the agency/actor- network theory is employed. From this theoretical review an interpretation of social life as created by the ways people interact with the material world is presented. This framework is employed as a lens into the social role and meaning the carvings played in the Dorset society. The examined assemblages were recovered from a series of Dorset settlement sites, mainly in house, midden, and burial contexts, providing a substantive case study through which variations and themes of carvings are studied.

  • Movements and Habitat Use of Muskoxen on Bathurst, Cornwallis
    MOVEMENTS AND HABITAT USE OF MUSKOXEN (Ovibos moschatus) ON BATHURST, CORNWALLIS, AND DEVON ISLANDS, 2003-2006 Morgan Anderson1 and Michael A. D. Ferguson Version: 23 December 2016 1Department of Environment, Government of Nunavut, Box 209 Igloolik NU X0A 0L0 STATUS REPORT 2016-08 NUNAVUT DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT WILDLIFE RESEARCH SECTION IGLOOLIK, NU i Summary Eleven muskoxen (Ovibos moschatus) were fitted with satellite collars in summer 2003 to investigate habitat preferences and movement parameters in areas where they are sympatric with Peary caribou on Bathurst, Cornwallis, and Devon islands. Collars collected locations every 4 days until May 2006, with 4 muskoxen on Bathurst Island collared, 2 muskoxen collared on Cornwallis Island, and 5 muskoxen collared on western Devon Island. Only 5-29% of the satellite locations were associated with an estimated error of less than 150 m (Argos Class 3 locations). Muskoxen in this study used low-lying valleys and coastal areas with abundant vegetation on all 3 islands, in agreement with previous studies in other areas and Inuit qaujimajatuqangit. They often selected tussock graminoid tundra, moist/dry non-tussock graminoid/dwarf shrub tundra, wet sedge, and sparsely vegetated till/colluvium sites. Minimum convex polygon home ranges representing 100% of the locations with <150 m error include these movements between core areas, and ranged from 233 km2 to 2494 km2 for all collared muskoxen over the 3 years, but these home ranges include large areas of unused habitat separating discrete patches of good habitat where most locations were clustered. Several home ranges overlapped, which is not surprising, since muskoxen are not territorial.

  • Exploration History and Mineral Potential of the Central Arctic Zn-Pb District, Nunavut KEITH DEWING,1 ROBERT J
    ARCTIC VOL. 59, NO. 4 (DECEMBER 2006) P. 415– 427 Exploration History and Mineral Potential of the Central Arctic Zn-Pb District, Nunavut KEITH DEWING,1 ROBERT J. SHARP2 and TED MURARO3 (Received 23 March 2006; accepted in revised form 25 July 2006) ABSTRACT. Exploration in the central Arctic Zn-Pb District took place in five phases: 1) an initial exploration period (1960– 70), during which most surface showings on Cornwallis and Little Cornwallis islands were found; 2) a discovery period (1971– 79), during which the buried Polaris ore body was discovered and its feasibility and viability established, new showings were found farther afield, and many showings received limited drill testing; 3) the production period (1980–88), dominated by drilling at Polaris Mine; 4) an ore-replacement exploration period (1989–2001), during which showings close to Polaris were extensively drilled, showings on Cornwallis Island drill tested, and new showings found and drilled farther away; and 5) a reclamation period (2002–05), during which the infrastructure was removed and the mine site restored. Factors affecting the timing and rate of exploration were generally intrinsic to the region: 1) discovery of showings in 1960, 2) discovery of the Polaris ore body in 1971, 3) declining reserves between 1989 and 2002, 4) closure of the mine in 2002, 5) the short exploration season and difficult logistics, and 6) lack of competition. The external drivers of exploration were 1) oil-related exploration that led to the discovery of the Polaris showings, 2) the onset of regional exploration coinciding with spikes in the price of zinc, and 3) the surge in scientific interest in carbonate-hosted Zn-Pb deposits in 1967.

  • Synopsis of the Polaris Zn-Pb District, Canadian Arctic
    SYNOPSIS OF THE POLARIS ZN-P B DISTRICT , C ANADIAN ARCTIC ISLANDS , N UNAVUT KEITH DEWING 1, R OBERT J. S HARP 2 , AND ELIZABETH TURNER 3 1. Geological Survey of Canada, 3303-33rd Street NW, Calgary, Alberta T2L 2A7 2. Trans Polar Geological, 60 Hawkmount Heights NW, Calgar,y Alberta T3G 3S5 3. Department of Earth Science, Laurentian University, Sudbury, Ontario, P3E 2C6 Corresponding author’s email: [email protected] Abstract The Polaris Mine was a Mississippi Valley-type (MVT) deposit hosted in dolomitized Middle Ordovician lime - stone. Total production was 20.1 Mt at 13.4% Zn and 3.6% Pb. There are about 80 showings in the district, which stretches from Somerset Island to the Grinnell Peninsula. There are two deposit types in the Polaris District: 1) struc - turally controlled, carbonate-hosted Zn-Pb-Fe deposits typical of MVT deposits, and 2) structurally and stratigraphi - cally controlled, carbonate-hosted Cu deposits enriched by later supergene removal of Fe and S. Mineralization is paragenetically simple, with sphalerite and galena as the ore minerals, and with dolomite and mar - casite as the main gangue minerals. The deposits formed from brines at about 90 to 100°C. The age of the mineraliza - tion is constrained to post-Late Devonian folding and may be associated with the last stages of the Ellesmerian Orogeny or the opening of the Sverdrup Basin. Copper-rich mineralization is known from four showings, is associated with zinc- lead mineralization and is confined to a single interval in the Silurian. The metallogenic model for Polaris invokes a source of metal ions within the stratigraphic column since strontium shows no indication of basement involvement.
