Survey Description
In 1988, a suite of 14 black poplar crown samples were collected from the area of the SL occurrence near Bissett, Manitoba. Each sample consists of the upper 40 cm (i.e. the crown) of 10 black poplar trees within a 2 m sampling “box”. Five proximal samples were collected from the immediate vicinity of the gold-bearing quartz vein and another 9 samples were collected 150 m from the mineralization to serve as background samples.
The boreal forest around the SL occurrence was burned in 1987. The predominant species in the burn area are vigorous black poplars which have attained heights of 1.5-1.8 m since deforestation by the fire.
The data are published in Manitoba Energy and Mines Open File Report OF89-1.
