                  <p>In 1997, humus, soil, till, vegetation and rocks were collected from the Edmund Lake and Sharpe Lake greenstone belts in east central Manitoba as part of Operation Superior.  Samples were collected on approximately 1 km centres or as dictated by access to landing sites using a float equipped helicopter.  A till pit was hand augered at each site and all other samples were collected in and around the immediate area of the till pit.</p>
                  <p>Approximately 280 humus samples were collected from beneath the moss mat that was normally removed prior to digging the till sample pit.  If the humus layer was too thin, the sample site was moved 5-10 m away from the till pit.  Care was taken to avoid any inorganic material.  Duplicate samples were collected at approximately every tenth site.</p>
                  <p>Approximately 266 B-horizon soil samples were collected from the pit dug for the till samples.  The B-horizon was isolated on a clean face of one or more walls of the pit and then scooped into a sample bag.  Care was taken not to include any organic material.  Duplicate samples were collected at every tenth site.</p>
                  <p>Till samples were collected at 152 sites from hand-dug pits to bedrock, to maximum depth of about 1 m or until the first unoxidized C-horizon till was intersected.  At each site, 0.5 kg of till was collected for geochemical analyses and an 11 L pail of till was collected for diamond indicator mineral processing.</p>
                  <p>Between June and August 1997, black spruce crown twigs were collected from each sampling site.  At most sites, the vegetation was collected within 20 m of the till pit.  The twigs were collected from the upper 45 cm of the tree.</p>
                  <p>Outcrop rock chip samples were collected after moss mats and soil were removed from the outcrop.  A total of 77 samples were collected from the Edmund Lake belt and 49 from the Sharpe Lake belt.  A representative sample consisted of 3-4 fist-sized chips.</p>
                  <p>The data are published in Manitoba Energy and Mines Open File Report OF98-5.</p>

                        <p>En 1997, des échantillons d’humus, de sol, de till, de végétation et de roche ont été recueillis dans les ceintures de roches vertes d’Edmund Lake et de Sharpe Lake dans la partie centrale est du Manitoba, dans le cadre de l’Opération Supérieur. Des échantillons ont été recueillis selon des intervalles d’environ 1 km ou selon l’accessibilité à des sites d’atterrissage par hélicoptère à flotteurs. En chaque site, une fosse a été creusée dans le till à l’aide d’une tarière à main, alors que tous les autres échantillons ont été recueillis dans la zone immédiate de la fosse et à proximité.</p>
                        <p>Environ 280 échantillons d’humus ont été recueillis sous le tapis de mousse qui était normalement retiré avant de creuser la fosse d’échantillonnage du till. Si la couche d’humus était trop mince, le site d’échantillonnage était déplacé de 5 à 10 m de la fosse. On a pris soin de ne pas inclure de matière inorganique. Des duplicatas ont été recueillis approximativement tous les dix sites.</p>
                        <p>Environ 266 échantillons de sol de l’horizon B ont été recueillis dans la même fosse d’échantillonnage du till. On a d’abord isolé l’horizon B sur une face nette de l’une ou de plusieurs parois de la fosse et on a ensuite recueilli l’échantillon dans un sac d’échantillonnage. On a pris soin de ne pas inclure de matière organique. Des duplicatas ont été recueillis approximativement tous les dix sites.</p>
                        <p>Des échantillons de till ont été recueillis en 152 sites dans des fosses creusées à la main jusqu’au substratum rocheux, à une profondeur maximale d’environ 1 m, ou jusqu’à ce qu’on rencontre le premier horizon C de till non oxydé. En chaque site, un demi-kilogramme de till était recueilli aux fins d’analyses géochimiques et 11 L de till était recueilli dans un seau afin de déterminer la présence de minéraux indicateurs de diamant.</p>
                        <p>Entre juin et août 1997, des brindilles ont été prélevées à la cime d’épinettes noires, dans chacun des sites d’échantillonnage. Dans la plupart des sites, les échantillons de végétation étaient prélevés à moins de 20 m de la fosse d’échantillonnage du till. Les brindilles étaient prélevées dans les 45 cm supérieurs de l’arbre.</p>
                        <p>Des échantillons de fragments de roche ont été prélevés sur des affleurements après que les tapis de mousse et le sol eurent été retirés. Un total de 77 échantillons ont été recueillis dans la ceinture d’Edmund Lake et 49 échantillons dans la ceinture de Sharpe Lake. Un échantillon représentatif se composait de 3 à 4 fragments de la grosseur du poing.</p>
