This paper summarizes ongoing surficial geology studies and geochemical analyses of till & vegetation in the Yellowknife Greenstone Belt. It first describes the sampling & analytical methods used, the regional geologic setting, and the types of surficial sediments found in the study area. It then presents results regarding ice flow directions, the occurrence of gold grains in till, and soil & vegetation geochemical profiles.

This paper reports the results of a mapping program in the vicinity of the Boston gold deposit near Hope Bay, south-west Nunavut. It first reviews the regional geology, the granitoid rocks of the Hope Bay volcanic belt, and their contact relationships with the belt. It then focusses on the geology of the deposit area, with descriptions of the rock types, the geologic structures, and the gold mineralization. Finally, implications of the findings for mineralization in other areas of the Hope Bay belt are discussed.

"You can't really know the place where you live until you know the shapes and origins of the land around you. To feel truly at home in the Bay Area, read Doris Sloan's intriguing stories of this region's spectacular, quirky landscapes."—Hal Gilliam, author of Weather of the San Francisco Bay Region "This is a fascinating look at some of the world's most complex and engaging geology. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in an understanding of the beautiful landscape and dynamic geology of the Bay Area."—Mel Erskine, geological consultant "This accessible summary of San Francisco Bay Area geology is particularly timely. We are living in an age where we must deal with our impact on our environment and the impact of the environment on us. Earthquake hazards, and to a lesser extent landslide hazards, are well known, but the public also needs to be aware of other important engineering and environmental impacts and geologic resources. This book will allow Bay Area residents to make more intelligent decisions about the geological issues affecting their lives."—John Wakabayashi, geological consultant
