	Abstract	Five Lakes area of interest comprises two small areas in the western 
			part of Great Slave Plain near the community of Jean Marie River. This 
			area is underlain by an undeformed succession of Devonian carbonates and
	 		siliciclastics, which unconformably overlies Precambrian strata.  Devonian 
			reef mounds of the Horn Plateau Formation are the most prospective potential 
			petroleum reservoirs and some nearby wells had Horn Plateau gas shows.  The 
			potential for undiscovered gas in the Five Lakes area of interest is rated low 
			to moderate. Oil potential is not significant. Regional quantitative estimates 
			indicate that the ultimate potential of the Five Lakes area is about 5 billion 
			cubic feet of natural gas.  The strong dependence of this estimate on the presence 
			of Horn Plateau reefs within, or very close to, the Five Lakes area of interest 
			indicates that interpolation from regional quantitative gas potential estimates 
			of even this small gas resource may be optimistic.
