Project History

1986-1988 East central Saskatchewan till sampling survey carried out in 1986, 1987.
  Till samples were collected in the East Amisk Lake area of east central Saskatchewan in approximately 1986 and 1987. The project was carried out to document type, distribution and stratigraphy of deposits; the source of materials; and the direction and distance of transport. This information can be used to determine the most useful sampling media and the most effective techniques for drift prospecting. The data are published in Saskatchewan Research Council Report R-842-59-E-88.
