Survey Description


Till sampling was carried out in the Kississing Lake area, west-central Manitoba to establish local and regional background values of till geochemistry within the Kisseynew gneissic domain:

 

Year Number of Samples Number of Sites Principal Investigator
1986 92 till 56 C.A. Kaszycki
1988 50 till unknown E. Nielsen, G. Gobert
1989 171 (148 till, 23 littoral) 139 G. Gobert, E. Nielsen

 

A summary of the work can be found in Manitoba Energy and Mines, Report of Field Activities, 1989.

The data are published in Manitoba Agriculture and Resource Development, Data Repository Item DRI2020018 and are part of two compilation open files, OF2020-2 and OF2020-6.
