GSC Open File 6559, 1 CD-ROM. Abstract: This publication’s purpose is to provide information on the location and thickness of potential granular aggregate resources (gravel and sand) and bedrock outcrop/subcrop localities which may host suitable quarry material in the vicinity of the Ka’a’gee Tu Candidate Protected Area, southern Northwest Territories. Newly acquired archival seismic shothole drillers-log data from Shell Canada, ConocoPhillips Canada, and Paramount Resources, are used to update previous reconstructions of potential granular aggregate deposits (Open File 6058) and bedrock outcrop/subcrop occurrences (Open File 6410). A total of 713 potential granular aggregate deposits and 4264 bedrock outcrop/subcrop occurrences have been added to the thematic GIS which is presented here. Application of this information is considered beneficial to all manner of regional, community, and resource infrastructure development, and may be incorporated into decision making by those planning the geographical extents and limitations to development in the proposed Ka’a’gee Tu Candidate Protected Area. Purpose: Produced as an output of Natural Resources Canada’s Environmental Geoscience Program and the Secure Canadian Energy Supply Program, Northern Energy Development – Mackenzie Valley Pipeline project, and the Federal Interdepartmental Program of Energy Research and Development (PERD) Pipeline’s Program 1.2.5 Language: English Beginning_Date: 2010 Ending_Date: 2011 Progress: Complete Maintenance_and_Update_Frequency: As needed West_Bounding_Coordinate: -120.00 East_Bounding_Coordinate: -114.00 North_Bounding_Coordinate: 62.00 South_Bounding_Coordinate: 60.00 Theme_Keyword: granular aggregate, bedrock outcrop, bedrock subcrop Theme_Keyword Thesaurus: aggregate, bedrock, candidate protected area, cemented gravel, database, Environmental Geoscience Program, frontier exploration, geographic information system, Geological Survey of Canada, geology, geophysical seismic exploration, GIS, gravel, GSC, infrastructure development, Ka’a’gee Tu, limestone, litholog, lithostratigraphy, Northwest Territories, NRCAN, Natural Resources Canada, NWT, outcrop, PAS, PERD, petroleum exploration, Program of Energy Research and Development, protected area, sand, sandstone, Secure Canadian Energy Supply Program, seismic shothole, shale, shot hole, shothole, shothole database, stratigraphy, subcrop, 1:250 000 Place_Keyword: Northwest Territories.
