Welcome to the Northwest Territories Geological Survey (NTGS) Web Applications

OVERVIEW

The Northwest Territories Geological Survey (NTGS) has developed 8 web applications (NTGS Web Apps) that provide access to geoscience databases in tabular and spatial views within a definable operational context (*). The applications, (and, where applicable, associated databases and current data volumes) are presented below.

To use an application, close this panel and click the application icon, or click on

"More"

for a brief introduction on using the application.

Geoscience Publications and Reports database

REFERENCES

The References Application searches a database of geoscience publications and reports such as NWT Open Files/Reports, Mineral Exploration Assessment reports and theses.

Types of Searchable References in the NTGS database

References each have a Type and an Identification Number. The format of the Number depends on the Type. The format used for a given Type is explained in the Number Format column below. Each lower case letter in the Number Format represents a number, date, or initial, as explained in brackets. The lower case y repeated four times (yyyy) is not explained in brackets since it always means a 4-digit year (eg. 1962). Dots following a lower case letter (n....) indicate that the number of characters represented by the letter is not restricted, whereas a lower case letter repeated a number of times, indicates that only that many characters are allowed. Each upper case letter and each dash represents itself - i.e. it is typed in the Number field for a reference exactly as it appears in the Number Format.

Mineral Showings (potential economically-viable mineral occurrences) database

SHOWINGS

Mineral Showings are indicators of potential economically-viable mineral occurrences and were gathered from industry reports, regulatory assessment reports, and other NTGS publications. The Showings App searches and downloads information on mineral showings from a database of records.

Minimum Commodity Grades for Mineral Showings

For a Showing to be included in the showings database, at least one commodity must have been detected in an amount above the minimum listed below, either in bedrock or (in the case of placers, for example) in the material which would constitute the ore if the deposit were minable. If a showing is defined for one commodity, another commodity may be listed as anomalous if it has been detected in an amount above or equal to a second assigned value, its 'As a By-Product' minimum.

Showings - Development Stage Descriptions

The Development Stage refers to the current degree of development of a Showing, ranging from initial discovery to a mine. These stages are:
Development Stage	Definition
Reconnaissance:	Preliminary examination of an area has revealed a site of interest.
Local Examination:	Sampling and ground investigations such as grid-based surveys have been carried out to further knowledge of the site. These may include trenching but not drilling.
Drilled:	The showing has been tested by at least one drill hole, not including Winkie/packsack holes or holes less than 3 m deep. Generally surface work has been done as well.
Advanced Exploration:	A deposit which is well understood in three dimensions. Generally this means enough work has been done on which to base resource calculations.
Producer:	A deposit which is currently being mined and producing a commodity.
Minor Producer:	A deposit which is currently being mined and producing a commodity, at rates of mining less than about 10,000 tonnes of ore per day.
Past Producer Abandoned, Past Producer Care and Maintenance, Past Producer Renewed Exploration:	A deposit which at one or more times was producing a commodity but is no longer. A Past Producer may be an abandoned mine, it may be on care and maintenance, or there may be renewed exploration for the same or different commodities in the vicinity. If a deposit cycles in and out of production over the years, its Development Stage in the database will be updated as its status changes.
Minor Past Producer Abandoned, Minor Past Producer Care and Maintenance, Minor Past Producer Renewed Exploration:	A past producer which produced < 100,000 tonnes of ore.
Note 1	If the "zones" of a mine (Producer) are spatially distinct from each other at a scale of 1:50,000, they may be entered separately, especially if production statistics for them are separate.
Note 2	A value of 'xTo Be Assigned' in this field indicates that data entry is incomplete.

Kimberlite Indicator and Diamond (KIDD) and Kimberlite Indicator Mineral Chemistry (KIMC) databases

KIMBERLITE

The KIDD and KIMC databases contain detailed information about Kimberlite samples and mineral grains found within samples.

The data was assembled from Mineral Assessment Reports within the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. KIDD contains operational information on samples including location, date, number of indicator grains and sample owner; KIMC contains records on detailed grain chemistry.
