Geological Survey of Canada, Terrain Sciences Division

Survey Description

73 till samples were collected in 2000 in the New Liskeard-Temagami region, Ontario. The data are published in Geological Survey of Canada Open File 4086.

Data Description: Paper report and on CD-ROM.

Quantities Analysed: <0.063 mm by ICP-ES after LiBO2 and acid dissolution for major elements; by ICP-MS for rare earth elements; by ICP-ES after HCl-HNO3-H2O for base metals; by INAA for 34 elements.

Other Analyses: Heavy mineral concentrate for kimberlite indicator minerals (0.25-0.5 mm non-ferromagnetic fraction) and gold grain counts; carbonate (<0.063 mm fraction (LECO)); grain size; pebble lithologies (0.5-5 cm).

Project History

2000-2001 Northeastern Ontario till sampling survey carried out in 2000.
  Till samples were collected in the New Liskeard-Temagami region, Ontario in 2000. The survey provides information on the regional background content of kimberlite indicator minerals (KIM) in till, the nature of KIM signatures in till just down-ice of known kimberlites and the distribution of KIM anomalies that warrant further investigation. The data are published in Geological Survey of Canada Open File 4086.
