Survey Description
In 1984, till samples were collected at Farley Lake, 36 km east of the Agassiz deposit, in northwestern Manitoba. A total of 244 till samples were collected from 216 hand-dug pits. The samples were processed for heavy minerals including gold.
The data are published in Manitoba Energy and Mines, Open File OF85-3.
The data are also part of two compilations in Manitoba Agriculture and Resource Development Open Files OF2020-5 and OF2020-6.
