Reconnaissance till sampling survey carried out over northern Alberta in 1992-1994. The sample site distribution is not regular due to limited access to the area. The data are published in Alberta Geological Survey Open File Report 1996-7.

Data Description: Paper reports; digital files (ASCII and Excel).

Quantities Analysed: <0.063 mm fraction by AAS after a fuming HF-HClO4-HNO3 digestion for 11 elements; by INAA for 11 elements.

Geochem Plots Available: Proportional symbol maps shows the dispersal of elements.

Other Analyses: Heavy mineral concentrate for kimberlite indicator minerals; grain size.

Project History

1992-1996 Northern Alberta till sampling survey carried out in 1992-1994.
  The major objective of the project was to determine the regional variations in the texture, indicator minerals and geochemistry of till in northern Alberta, to assist exploration by industry for diamondiferous kimberlite and lamproite, gold placers and other minerals. The data are published in Alberta Geological Survey Open File Report 1996-7.
