Description: Bedrock geological mapping was conducted throughout the Northwest Territories from the late 1980s to the late 1990s, These mapping projects were jointly implemented by the Government of Northwest Territories (EMPR, RWED) and the federal government (DIAND). The principal products resulting from each of these mapping projects are scanned monochrome tif mages of variable legibility.Significant technological advancements in map production and data delivery have been developed since the original publications were released. In an effort to support and stimulate mineral exploration, the mapping products are re-released in modern formats that are compatible with current industry standards. Full-colour digital representations of the original maps are produced in Adobe pdfformat, and will be suitable for enhanced visualization and conventional printing as hard-copy maps. In addition, all principal components of the maps will be produced and presented in a Geographic Information System (GIS), including fully attributed linear and polygon elements. Georeferenced point data, including geochemical analyses of rock samples and field-based structural measurements, will form an integral component of the new databases. Significant effort will be devoted to replicating the original publications with geological interpretation of assumed contacts and features required in GIS maps not found in the original maps.
