Survey Description
During the 2009 and 2010 field seasons, a total of 238 till samples from 218 sites was collected in the Great Island – Caribou Lake area, northeast Manitoba, over an area of approximately 8,100 km 2. Helicopter traverses were used to find exposed till during reconnaissance sampling in 2009, based on which more detailed sampling sites were chosen in 2010 to better define dispersal patterns. In addition, regional sampling continued in 2010 to complete coverage of the study area.
The data are published in Geological Survey of Canada Open File 6967/Manitoba Geological Survey Open File 2011-4.
The data are also part of a compilation in Manitoba Agriculture and Resource Development Open File OF2020-3.
