Project History

1983-1989 Northwestern Manitoba till sampling surveys carried out between 1983-1988.
  In 1983 the Geological Survey of Canada began a program of systematic till sampling and surficial geological mapping in northwestern Manitoba. The primary objective of the sampling was to map variations in chemical and mineralogical components of till that may be related to bedrock mineralization as an aid to mineral exploration within the area. Till sampling was carried out in the Granville Lake (NTS 64C) map area in 1983 and part of 1984. The data were published in GSC Open File 1204. Till sampling was carried out in the Brochet (NTS 64F) map area in 1984. The data were published in GSC Open File 1205. A report covering till sampling in map areas NTS 64B,G, 63N and parts of 63O,K as well as republishing data from 64C and 64F was published in GSC Open File 2118.
