Report of 2014 activities for the geologic and metallogenic framework of the south Rae Craton, southeast Northwest Territories: reconnaissance surficial and bedrock fieldwork in the GEM 2 South Rae project area

A six day field reconnaissance was completed in summer of 2014 to obtain an overview of the South Rae study area, southeast Northwest Territories. The goal of this reconnaissance was to ascertain the optimum surficial and bedrock mapping strategies and assess logistics for 2015 and later field seasons. A general perspective of the region’s Quaternary geology, the amount of bedrock exposure, access to key mapping areas and possible camp locations for the area was achieved. Air-photo interpretation of the surficial geology of 75B map sheet is underway.
