Survey Description
In 1997, 39 stream sediment samples were collected in west-central Manitoba from sand bars in streams flowing from the Porcupine Hills. Five other samples were collected sometime between 1997 and 2000:
| Type of Sediment | Sediment Provenance | Number of Samples |
| salt spring sediment | salt spring east of the Porcupine Hills | 1 |
| stream sediment | sand bars within streams on the flanks of Duck Mountain | 2 |
| gravel | base of a deep gravel pit SE of Duck Mountain | 1 |
| beach sand | garnet-rich beach sand on Clearwater Lake | 1 |
The kimberlite indicator mineral results are published in Manitoba Industry, Trade and Mines Open File Report 2001-3.
Follow-up work was carried out in 2002 as detailed below:
| Type of Sediment | Sediment Provenance | Number of Samples |
| stream sediment | sand bars within streams flowing from the Porcupine Hills | 19 |
| stream sediment | Red Deer River, SK | 1 |
| samples prepared from outcrop | Swan River Formation | 2 |
| beach sand | garnet-rich beach sand on Clearwater Lake | 1 |
The kimberlite indicator mineral results are published in Manitoba Industry, Trade and Mines, Report of Activities 2002 (GS-34).
