The Hope Bay and Elu greenstone belts are known gold and base metal endowed areas located in the Slave craton of western Nunavut (Kitikmeot Region). Both greenstone belts are largely claimed by TMAC Resources, where gold is produced at the Doris and Madrid properties. Although they have been explored by industry since the 1960’s, and mapped regionally by the GSC, detailed work is warranted in many targeted prospective areas. The purpose of this initiative is to collaborate with TMAC and conduct research in a targeted area with suspected extensions of a known gold deposit. This endeavour will expand our understanding of the economic potential of the Hope Bay and Elu greenstone belts, and by extension of other greenstone belts in Slave craton. The project will have field work from Jul 21st – August 4th at the Doris camp, summer 2020. The field crew will be transported by helicopter daily to the field area. Timing may vary due to weather and camp availability. Field work will continue in 2021 for 3-4 weeks, exact dates are to be determined. The goal of this project is to create a targeted 1:10 000 – 1:15 000 geologic map on the Hope Bay greenstone belt property. This geologic map should include items of mineral exploration interest (e.g., economic mineral showings, alteration, major structures, volcanic stratigraphy).
