Overview 2013
Kivalliq regiOn
http://cngo.ca/exploration-overview/2013/
Please refer to the map on the cover for the location of active and inactive projects in the Kivalliq region. Bold text signifies a major project.
Kivalliq Region geology
geologically, nunavut includes some of the oldest rocks in canada, which make up the northwestern part of the canadian shield. these are metamorphosed granitic, sedimentary and volcanic rocks that formed during the precambrian period, the time from when the earth formed (about 4.5 billion years ago) until the beginning of the paleozoic era (540 million years ago). in the Kivalliq, the granite-intruded sedimentary rocks and volcanic greenstone belts have experienced several episodes of folding and faulting. this tectonic activity has enriched some of these rocks with metallic elements, such as gold, nickel, copper, or
platinum. a large continental basin later formed and accumulated thick layers of sandstone on top of the ancient shield rocks in the western part of the Kivalliq. Uranium mineralization occurred later within these sandstones to form large deposits of uranium in the Kivalliq, similar to those that exist in saskatchewan.
the present landscape is the result of a long history of erosion, most recently by the action of glaciers. Much of the bedrock in the region is hidden beneath a thick cover of glacial sediments left behind as the ice disappeared. in these clay-rich and sandy sediments, traces of harder minerals are found, including

minerals associated with diamonds, which can be traced back to their source in the bedrock. ground investigations and airborne geophysical surveys can be used to discover the locations of the various metal deposits. prospecting for gold is possible by looking for rocks rich with quartz veins or where there is rusty weathering of rock.
Selected mining and exPloRation HigHligHtS
agnico-eagle Mines ltd. (aeM) operates the Meadowbank gold mine, located north of Baker lake. the company employed about 700 people at the mine in 2013, of which about 35 per cent aare inuit from communities across the Kivalliq. an average of 11,000 tonnes of ore per day is processed at the mine site from two open pits, called the portage and goose island pits. three deposits altogether, portage, goose island and Vault, currently form the mine plan for Meadowbank that is expected to produce gold until 2018. the company also operates the Meliadine gold project, located north of rankin inlet. in 2013, the company invested $80 million on exploration and development work on the property, including the construction of a 23 km all-weather road from rankin inlet. close to 80,000 m of exploratory drilling was carried out on the property to find new targets and expand reserves at known deposits.
in the southern part of the Kivalliq, prosperity goldfields corp. carried out a winter drilling program at Kiyuk lake. some of the company’s highest gold grades were encountered in drill core from its rusty zone prospect. at the ATlAs project, anconia resources corp. also conducted a drill program to test for gold, silver, copper and zinc mineralization indicated by results of several geophysical surveys carried out on the property. Follow-up exploration work is planned for 2014 in the area. northquest ltd. is also exploring for gold at its Pistol Bay project, located 35 km from Whale cove. a number of mineralized zones have been discovered that are prospective for gold. in 2013 the company invested $5 million for geological mapping, ground geophysical surveys and diamond drilling. Visible gold grains have been identified in many of the drill core samples, indicating high grade gold in the area.
there has been some success with prospecting for diamonds in the Kivalliq over the past several years. important kimberlites have been identified near chesterfield inlet, Wager Bay and repulse Bay. the luxx project is located about 60 km from chesterfield inlet and is being studied by north arrow Minerals inc. for its diamond potential. Work in 2013 on the property included till sampling for diamond indicator minerals and an aeromagnetic survey.
the Kiggavik uranium project, located west of Baker lake, is operated by areVa resources canada inc. it is the most advanced uranium project in nunavut with an estimated resource of over 133 million pounds of uranium concentrate. exploration on the project in 2013 consisted of more than 10,000 m of exploratory drilling to expand known areas of mineralization at several prospects on the property. in 2012, areVa submitted a revised
Draft environmental impact statement for the project to the nunavut impact review Board. if approved, the $2.1 billion project could begin construction in 2017 and a mine start-up as early as 2020. the company has been making visits to communities in the Kivalliq, presenting project updates to residents.
Kivalliq energy corporation, with nunavut tunngavik incorporated as a partner, operates the Angilak uranium project. the focus of the project is the lac cinquante deposit near Yathkyed lake where the company carried out prospecting, geological mapping, geophysical surveys, soil sampling and diamond drilling. exploratory drilling discovered two new mineralized zones. in 2013, the company spent $5 million on these exploration activities and released an updated resource estimate for the lac cinquante deposit indicating over 43 million pounds of uranium concentrate. the deposit also contains silver, molybdenum and copper in amounts that may make a mine economically viable.
PRogRamS and StudieS
caRving Stone dePoSit evaluation PRogRam
the nunavut carving stone Deposit evaluation program is a territory-wide collaborative project, led by the government of nunavut, Department of economic Development & transportation, to locate and evaluate carving stone deposits and assess their artisanal suitability and potential to supply nearby communities. the program completed its final year of field investigations in 2013. twenty carving stone deposits have been identified in the Kivalliq. Highlights from work this year include an evaluation of the Kovic serpentinite deposit near repulse Bay, a relatively large deposit which may be developed as a source of carving stone.
nunavut PRoSPectoRS’ PRogRam & PRoSPectoR tRaining
in 2013, the government of nunavut’s Department of economic Development and transportation offered a six-day introduction to prospecting course in arviat. the course introduces students to basic rock identification and principals of prospecting. graduates of the course may qualify for financial and technical assistance through the nunavut prospectors’ program to pursue their own projects, and some find work as field assistants on mineral exploration projects. this course is planned to be offered in chesterfield inlet, coral Harbour, repulse Bay and Whale cove in 2014.
geoScience StudieS
West of coral Harbour, the canada-nunavut geoscience office and the government of nunavut conducted their second field season of evaluating the industrial limestone potential on southampton island. the project aims to establish the quality and quantity of material available, and will continue through 2014 with further analysis of results.
aRviat diamond dRilleRS’ tRaining (addt) PRogRam
the aDDt program is a partnership between nunavut arctic college, northern college of Kirkland lake, ontario, the Hamlet of arviat, agnico-eagle Mines ltd., and others.
Kivalliq Region
a fourth successful 10-week program was completed in september 2013 and graduated all 12 students enrolled. all students were residents of arviat, however residents from any community in the Kivalliq can apply. the program began in 2011 and has 43 graduates in all. some have already been hired as diamond-driller helpers due to the demand in the exploration industry. Developing skills provides employment opportunities and reduces the costs associated with attracting and transporting drillers from other parts of canada. a new eight-week Welding trade readiness program has been developed and is expected to be offered in the Fall of 2014. a Driver’s training program and Work readiness program will also be offered this year.

gloSSaRy of teRminology
Deposit – a natural concentration of a metal, gemstone or other mineral substance, which may be economically extracted but whose traits need a more detailed study to be classified as a resource.
Drilling – the operation of making holes with a drill to sample bedrock or other surface material such as glacial till or clay. Diamond drilling produces a cylindrical core of rock, while reverse circulation drilling produces rock chips. geologists study the drill core or rock chip material after it is extracted, in order to map rock types below the surface and to understand geological structures with the goal of finding mineral deposits.
environmental Impact statement – a document outlining the effects of a development project on the environment prepared by
the proponent of a project and presented to regulators, decision makers, and the public.
exploration – the range of activities used to search for deposits of useful, economically valuable minerals.
Mineralization – the process by which a mineral is introduced into a rock, resulting in a mineral deposit, through hydrothermal, igneous, metamorphic, or other geological processes.
Prospecting – the search for outcrops or surface exposures of mineral occurrences with economic potential. prospecting takes place by walking on the land and observing it for evidence of mineral occurrences. once an occurrence is found, further work is necessary to determine if a deposit is present at the location.
Reserve – a published estimate of the amount of naturally occurring metal, gemstone, or other mineral substance in a mineral deposit that can be economically extracted at the time of publication of the estimate. classifying a deposit as a reserve indicates that a company has strong confidence in the quantity and quality of ore in that deposit. Mineral deposits must meet specific legal criteria to be classified as reserves.
Resource – a published estimate of the amount of naturally occurring metal, gemstone, or other mineral substance in a mineral deposit, which is present in an amount that could allow for economic extraction of the material in the future. classifying a deposit as a resource indicates that a company has moderate confidence in the quantity and quality of ore in that deposit, but that more exploration is needed to consider it a reserve. Mineral deposits must meet specific legal criteria to be classified as resources.
