Survey Description 43 till samples were collected in 1967 in the Manitouwadge area. In addition, 134 soil and 281 till samples were collected from vertical profiles at sites along two exploration trenches. The original data were reanalyzed (no Hg) to take advantage of improved geochemical techniques and published in GSC Open File 3562. Some samples were then analysed for mercury and the data are published in GSC Open File 3790 and GSC Current Research 1995-E and further discussed in GSC Current Research 1997-C. Data Description: Paper report; data on diskette. Quantities Analysed: <0.063 mm fraction of soil and till analysed for 24 elements by ICP-AES after a nitric aqua regia partial digestion. Geochem Plots Available: Proportional symbol maps showing dispersal of elements in the <0.063 mm fraction of till and dispersal of clasts in the 5.6-16 mm fraction of till. Soil and till profiles (<0.063mm fraction) for Nama Creek showing distribution of selected elements. Other Analyses: Pebble lithologies; carbonate (<0.063 mm by LECO). |
