Bimineralic eclogite xenoliths from Koidu have been extensively studied previously, but less attention has been directed towards diamondiferous eclogite xenoliths as well as eclogitic and peridotitic diamonds from this locality. To gain insight into the geologic history of the lithospheric mantle...

The Lawyers Property located in the Toodoggone district hosts a well-known extensively explored low sulfidation style epithermal deposit as well as an adjacent less understood target area known as Silver Pond that shares characteristics of a high sulfidation style system. The Silver Pond prospect...

Cyanobacteria are among the most abundant primary producers in the oceans and are present in nearly every environment on the planet. They were one of the first organisms to evolve nearly 3.8 billion years ago, making them excellent analogs for the investigation of ancient ocean chemistry. The...

The Lower Triassic Montney Formation in west-central Alberta and northeastern British Columbia has become one of the most productive reservoirs in Western Canada over the past 15 years. It is projected that it will play a leading role in satisfying Canada’s energy requirements over the next 20...

Critical metals (e.g., nickel and cobalt) are increasingly in demand for the production and storage of cleaner energy but their supplies are finite. Ultramafic mine tailings could be reprocessed as a source of critical metals. These waste materials host an array of critical transition metals and...

Meteorites are the most primitive materials in the solar system and can provide important information about the early earth, planetary processes, and possibly yield insights to the building blocks of life. All meteoritic astromaterials are exposed to both organic compound and microbial...

Establishing an absolute time scale of Mars is critical to understanding the planet’s geological evolution. Currently, martian meteorites are the only samples of the planet available for radiometric geochronology analysis in terrestrial laboratory settings. The record of known martian absolute...

Previously acquired biomarker analyses of oil samples and Rock-Eval analyses of cores and cutting samples have been integrated with new Rock-Eval analyses to determine the source rock potential of Montney Formation. Furthermore, the geochemical signature of Montney organic matter is used to...

The Lower Triassic Montney Formation contains some of the largest unconventional hydrocarbon plays in the world, and over the last decades has become critical to Canada’s main energy resources. These unconventional plays consist mainly of fine- to coarse-grained siltstone beds which are difficult...
