| Abstract | (unpublished)
Foreword The Geo-mapping for Energy and Minerals (GEM) program1 is laying the foundation for sustainable economic development in the North. The Program provides modern public
geoscience that will set the stage for long-term decision making related to investment in responsible resource development. Geoscience knowledge produced by GEM supports evidence-based exploration for new energy and mineral resources and enables
northern communities to make informed decisions about their land, economy and society. Building upon the success of its first five-years, GEM has been renewed until 2020 to continue producing new, publically available, regional-scale geoscience
knowledge in Canada's North. During the summer 2015, the GEM program has successfully carried out 17 research activities that include geological, geochemical and geophysical surveying. These activities have been undertaken in collaboration with
provincial and territorial governments, northerners and their institutions, academia and the private sector. GEM will continue to work with these key collaborators as the program advances. |
| Summary | (Plain Language Summary, not published)
This publication is a compilation of field reports focused on a multidisciplinary approach to determine the Ni-Cu-PGE potential of the HALIP exposed in
the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, Nunavut. The results describe bedrock mapping and sampling activities carried out by the authors on Axel Heiberg Island and Ellesmere Island in July-August 2015. Marie-Claude Williamson is acting as Editor of the
Open File for the GEM 2 Western Arctic Region Project. |
