Project Metadata

A regional till, stream sediment, water, and bedrock sampling program was carried out in 2002, 2003, and 2005 to improve resource discoveries and to enhance the economic potential of this region. Results from this study contribute to building a national geochemical database for resource assessment, mineral exploration, geological mapping, and environmental studies.

The data are published in GSC Open Files 4944 and 5742 (which supersedes OF 4944).
