Till Alberta 1992

Till sampling survey, NTS 74M, L, northeastern Alberta, 1993 and 1994.  


Geological Survey of Canada, Calgary

Survey Description

111 samples (mostly till) collected in 1992, and 336 samples (mostly till) collected in 1993 and 1994 in northeastern Alberta. Data published in GSC Open Files 2747 and 3348 (final report).

Data Description: Paper reports; 1992 report has diskette (WP and Excel). 1993-1994 data on diskette in Excel format.

Quantities Analysed: <0.002 mm and <0.063 mm fractions by ICP-AES after nitric-aqua regia digestion for 32 trace elements; 1993-1994 samples also have INAA of the sample matrix.

Other Analyses: Grain size (<2 mm fraction); carbonate (<0.063 mm fraction by LECO); 10 of the larger 1993-1994 samples were processed for heavy mineral concentrates for kimberlite indicator minerals.

Project History

1992-1996 Northeastern Alberta till sampling survey carried out in 1992-1994.
  The project studied the geochemistry of glacial deposits in northeastern Alberta. It was designed to characterize the regional glacial drift cover and to identify possible anomalies related to mineralization and glacial transport of heavy mineral indicators. The data are published in GSC Open Files 2747 and 3348 (final report).
