"The Mineral Exploration and Mining Strategy is the plan of the Government of Nunavut to create opportunities for the future self-reliance of Nunavut and Nunavummiut through the sustainable development of our mineral resources. It is intended to guide that development in the period leading up to the devolution of management responsibilities for lands and resources from the federal government. The goal of the strategy is: "To create the conditions for a strong and sustainable minerals industry that contributes to a high and sustainable quality of life for all Nunavummiut." The Mineral Exploration and Mining Strategy is built on the Government's vision contained in Pinasuaqtavut and on Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit. The Strategy rests securely on the following four Pillars. These Pillars are the frameworks for the Policies and Action Plans of the Strategy, which determine how we will actively engage Nunavummiut in the mineral exploration and mining industry. Pillar 1- Jurisdictional Framework: We must put a solid foundation of sound legislation, regulations, and policies in place to facilitate the development of a mining industry that will achieve our vision. Pillar 2 - Community Benefits: We need to find the strategies and initiatives that will build on our strengths and allow our people and communities to become full participants with a true sense of ownership in our minerals economy. Pillars 3 - Infrastructure Development: We must take advantage of opportunities to improve and build our infrastructure so that developments in one sector of our economy provide broad benefits throughout other economic sectors. Pillar 4 - Environmental Stewardship: At all times we must recognize the importance of protecting our environment and ensuring that the environmental effects of mining are always minimized and that the industry earns respect and acknowledgement as being a guardian of a clean and healthy environment. Within these Pillars there are 16 policy positions and 22 action items. The policy positions will establish a clear policy framework for the Government of Nunavut's support for mineral exploration and mining. The action items will prepare Nunavut to ensure the mining industry provides substantive and sustainable benefits to the territory and that negative impacts are minimized"--ASTIS database.

Download Nueltin Granites and Mafic Rocks in the Tebesjuak Lake Map Area, Nunavut Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The Tebesjuak Lake map area (NTS 65O), in Nunavut, is underlain by extensive intrusive and extrusive rocks of the Kivalliq Igneous Suite (Wharton Group, Nueltin Granite, and various mafic rocks). Spanning an age range of 1.74-1.77 billion years, these rocks are part of a broad anorogenic event that occurred throughout a large part of the western Churchill province. New geochemical, petrological, and geophysical data acquired during the GEM1-U project has now accurately established space-time trends in magma composition, the physical form of an important bimodal intrusion, and the relationship of Kivalliq rocks to some mineral showings in the map area.

Download Physical Geology Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This is a discount Black and white version. Some images may be unclear, please see BCCampus website for the digital version.This book was born out of a 2014 meeting of earth science educators representing most of the universities and colleges in British Columbia, and nurtured by a widely shared frustration that many students are not thriving in courses because textbooks have become too expensive for them to buy. But the real inspiration comes from a fascination for the spectacular geology of western Canada and the many decades that the author spent exploring this region along with colleagues, students, family, and friends. My goal has been to provide an accessible and comprehensive guide to the important topics of geology, richly illustrated with examples from western Canada. Although this text is intended to complement a typical first-year course in physical geology, its contents could be applied to numerous other related courses.

Download Martin Frobisher's northwest venture, 1576-1581 Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Martin Frobisher led three voyages to the Canadian Arctic between 1576 and 1578. He initially sought the Northwest Passage to Cathay, but his voyages became Canada’s first “gold rush” when gold was reported after his first trip. Sadly the Arctic ore proved worthless, and the Cathay Company that financed the expedition was ruined. Mysteries, however, remain. Was the ore truly worthless? If so, why was it so easy to finance the expeditions? Was fraud involved? And why did some of the ore mysteriously disappear off the coast of Ireland? This book is a quest for the answers.
