Description:Bedrock geological mapping was conducted throughout the Northwest Territories during the late 1980s to late 1990s and was jointly implemented by the Government of Northwest Territories (GNWT) and the Federal Government. Many of these areas were mapped at 1:50,000 scale and the principal products resulting from each of these mapping projects are scanned monochrome tif images of variable legibility. These are currently distributed by the Northwest Territories Geological Survey (NTGS).
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 being re-released in modern formats that are compatible with current industry standards.
