Survey Description
Till sampling was carried out in the Dot Lake-MacLellan Mine area in northwestern Manitoba. An orientation survey was conducted in 1982 and 1983 down ice from the MacLellan Au-Ag deposit (formerly known as the Agassiz deposit). The sample area was expanded in 1984 and 1985 to include the Dot Lake area to trace the mineralization to the west. A total of 382 till samples were collected from hand-dug pits as detailed below:
| Year | Area | Number of Samples |
| 1982 | MacLellan Mine | 52 |
| 1983 | MacLellan Mine | 204 |
| 1984 | Dot Lake | 46 |
| 1985 | Dot Lake | 80 |
The samples were processed for heavy minerals, including gold. The data are published in Manitoba Energy and Mines, Open File OF87-2.
The data are also part of two compilations in Manitoba Agriculture and Resource Development Open Files OF2020-5 and OF2020-6.

The geographic extent of the survey is defined by the following polygons:
-
Covers parts of NTS 64C/14 (Lynn Lake) and /15 (Cockeram Lake), the Dot Lake-MacLellan Mine area, northwestern Manitoba. It is located approximately 6 km northeast of the town of Lynn Lake. Highway 391 runs east-west in the southern portion of the study area and Dot Lake lies immediately to the northwest.
