Survey Description


In 1984, till samples were collected around the Lar Cu-Zn deposit in the Laurie Lake area, northwestern Manitoba.  A total of 128 till samples were collected from 80 hand-dug pits.  Detailed vertical sampling at 10 to 20 cm intervals was carried out at 15 randomly selected sites.

The data are published in Manitoba Energy and Mines, Open File OF91-4.

The data are also part of two compilations in Manitoba Agriculture and Resource Development open files OF2020-2 and OF2020-5.
