Surficial Geology of Fenwick Creek Map

Map of the first vertical derivative of the magnetic field derived from data acquired during an aeromagnetic survey carried out by Goldak Airborne Surveys from November 19, 2008 to February 19, 2009.

Surficial Geology of the Howard?s Pass area (NTS 105I/12 and parts of 105I/11, 6 and 5 and 105J/9 and 8 ), Yukon and Northwest Territories

This project was undertaken to evaluate the potential to economically recover additional metal values from the 4.6 million tons of Keno Hill flotation tailings which grades 3-4 oz/t silver, 0.8% lead and 0.9% zinc. The study determined that the higher grade portion of the tailing, containing some...

This map was compiled from data obtained as a result of an aeromagnetic survey carried out by Fugro Airborne Surveys using a Cessna Caravan (registration C-FZLK) aircraft. A 0.005 nT sensitivity split-beam cesium vapour magnetometer was mounted in the tail boom of the survey aircraft. The survey...

This report is an account of our work testing the viability of floater dredging for placer gold in permafrost. Floater dredging is a method of mining which uses a hydraulic excavator to feed placer gravel to a floating gravel processing plant. We wanted to see if the digging face of a dredge pond...
