| Summary | The proposed Grays Bay – Yellowknife corridor for transportation, energy, and telecommunications through the Slave Geological Province is needed to improve access for exploration and development, reduce operating costs, and open up the vast mineral deposits to existing highway infrastructure in the south and a deep-sea port on the Arctic Ocean. In this region, information on potential geohazards to mineral exploration and development, in relation to periglacial features, is relatively sparse. To fill this regional information gap, we are mapping periglacial terrain features, compiling related information from historical geotechnical reports, and developing high resolution models of ground ice potential. |
