This activity will significantly upgrade the outdated geoscience framework of this area, expand the impact of new geo-constraints on the mainland (GEM-2 RAE Thelon Activity findings), and provide relevant data and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.
