Till sampling survey and overburden drilling, NTS 62H, 52E, southeastern Manitoba, 1991-1992.  


Geological Survey of Canada, Terrain Sciences Division

Survey Description

465 till samples were collected in southeastern Manitoba over the drift-covered rocks of the Wabigoon Belt in 1991 and 1992. 297 samples were from drill holes, 142 from surface sites and 26 from river sections. 195 sand samples were also taken from the drill core. The data are published in GSC Open File 2750.

Data Description: Report and data on diskette.

Quantities Analysed: <0.063mm fraction of till matrix by INAA for 35 elements and by nitric-aqua-regia-ICP for 32 elements; XRF analyses of bedrock from drill holes.

Other Analyses: <0.063 mm carbonate (Chittick); pebble lithology; gold grain counts; kimberlite indicator mineral frequency and chemistry; geochemical analyses of heavy mineral concentrates (INAA and nitric-aqua-regia-ICP).
