Till British Columbia 1998

Till sampling survey, NTS 94G, northeastern British Columbia, 1998-2000.  


Geological Survey of Canada, Calgary

Survey Description

165 samples (mostly till but a few glacial outwash and glaciolacustrine sediments) were collected in the Trutch Lake area, northeastern British Columbia between 1998 and 2000. The data are published in GSC Open File 3815.

Data Description: Digital report and data files.

Quantities Analysed: <0.063 mm fraction by INAA for 34 elements.

Other Analyses: Grain size (<2 mm); carbonate (<0.063 mm (Chittick and LECO)); heavy mineral concentrate for point counts.

Project History

1998-2001 Central Foreland NATMAP Project.
  This project is a multi-disciplinary study of surficial, bedrock and subsurface mapping. The surficial component includes the geochemistry and sedimentological characteristics of glacial deposits. The surficial sampling survey (1998-2000) was designed to characterize the regional till cover and to identify possible anomalies related to mineralization and glacial transport of heavy mineral indicators. The data are published in GSC Open File 3815.
