Survey Description
Between 1983 and 1986, till samples were collected in the area of the Agassiz Metallotect extending east from the MacLellan Mine (Agassiz deposit) to Nickel Lake. Approximately 800 samples were collected from 810 hand-dug pits. The samples were processed for heavy minerals including gold.
The data are published in Manitoba Energy and Mines, Open File OF86-2.
The data are also part of two compilations in Manitoba Agriculture and Resource Development Open Files OF2020-5 and OF2020-6.
