Survey Description
In 1999, samples of the loose outer bark scales from black spruce were collected from 3 areas near Drybones Bay, on the east side of Great Slave Lake, Northwest Territories. 165 sites were sampled in the Mud Lake area (southeast of Drybones Bay), 12 sites on the north side of Drybones Bay and 5 sites from 0.5 – 1 km down-ice (southwest) from the Drybones kimberlite, which lies beneath a bay on the south side of Drybones Bay. The data are published in Geological Survey of Canada Open File 3919.
Sampling Procedure
A paint scraper was used to remove 50-100 g of outer bark from around the circumference of black spruce. A consistent spacing of 100 m between sample sites was maintained where possible.
