EXPERIENCE WITH ENGINEERING SITE INVESTIGATIONS IN NORTHERN QUEBEC AND NORTHERN BAFFIN ISLAND
Subsurface investigations were undertaken in permafros t a r e a s in connection with the engineering design of two potential major mining developments in the eas te rn Canadian Arctic. These a r e the Asbestos Hill and the Baffinland I ron Pro jec ts (Figure 1). Asbestos Hill is located in the nort...
