Lake Timiskaming Kimberlite Project, 1997-2005



Project Description

The Lake Timiskaming kimberlite field, located in northeastern Ontario and western Quebec was studied by the Geological Survey of Canada.  Samples of till and other glacial sediments as well as kimberlite were collected between 1997 and 2005.  The purpose of the project was to document kimberlite mineralogy and glacial dispersal patterns as well as geochemical signatures associated with the kimberlites and to provide information on 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 the following Geological Survey of Canada Open Files:
