Survey Description

131 samples of till and esker sediments were collected in 1980 in the Whiskey Jack Lake area of northwestern Manitoba. The surficial sediments were collected along 8 east-west traverses and along one north-south traverse. The data are published in GSC Current Research 81-01A.

Data Description: Paper report; brief summary of data; no data lists.

Quantities Analysed: <0.002 mm fraction by AAS for Cu, Pb, Zn, Co, Ni and Ag.

Project History

1980-1981 Northwestern Manitoba till sampling survey carried out in 1980.
  In order to provide information to extend the usefulness of regional lake sediment and airborne radiometric surveys carried out in the area in 1975, geochemical follow-up investigations were carried out in northwestern Manitoba in the Whiskey Jack Lake area, 1980. The purpose of the glacial drift sampling was to determine the Cu, Pb, Zn, Co, Ni and Ag regional background values and to locate anomalous drift and to determine provenance of trace elements present in till by studying glacial dispersal of garnets. The data are published in GSC Current Research Paper 81-01A.
