Formation resistivity factor and pore-surface resistivity values were determined for three mineralized & nonmineralized rock samples from the Giant mine & Con mine areas of the Yellowknife mining district. The purpose was to provide basic information required to understand the electrical conductivity mechanisms of these rocks and to aid interpretation of geophysical surveys conducted in these areas. This paper describes the methods & processes used to obtain the formation factor data & to document the results for use in future studies.

This paper summarizes ongoing surficial geology studies and geochemical analyses of till & vegetation in the Yellowknife Greenstone Belt. It first describes the sampling & analytical methods used, the regional geologic setting, and the types of surficial sediments found in the study area. It then presents results regarding ice flow directions, the occurrence of gold grains in till, and soil & vegetation geochemical profiles.
