Survey Description


In 2001, multimedia geochemical samples, including humus, soil, till, vegetation and rocks were collected northeast of the Knee Lake greenstone belt in east central Manitoba as part of Operation Superior. The data and information about the survey are published in Manitoba Geological Survey Data Repository Item 2009001.

The kimberlite indicator mineral data are also part of a compilation, Manitoba Geological Survey Open File 2002-1.

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