Abstract

This report provides an interim summary of field activities conducted in the summer of 2023 as part of a multidimensional study by the Alberta Geological Survey (AGS) investigating mineral systems of the Canadian Shield in northern Alberta. In support of the Government of Alberta initiative to increase publicly available geoscience information related to critical mineral potential, AGS crews visited over 400 locations and collected more than 500 samples for geochemical and petrological analyses. Additional datasets generated from this fieldwork are described, and anticipated publications are outlined.

This work was completed under the Mineral Grant provided by the Government of Alberta June 22, 2021.
