Survey Description
In 2016 and 2017, till samples weighing 2-3 kg were collected from the C-horizon in hand dug pits or mudboils. Samples were also collected from stratigraphic sections. Additional 11.4 L till samples were collected for kimberlite indicator mineral processing.
| Year | Till Samples from Pits/Mudboils+Sections | Till Samples for KIM |
| 2016 | 14+43 | 30 |
| 2017 | 62 | 34 |
| Total | 119 | 64 |
In 2017, 15 till samples were also recovered from archived drill core for geochemistry and KIMs.
The data are published in Manitoba Geological Survey Data Repository Items DRI2018001 (KIM from till, 2016+2017) and DRI2018002 (geochemistry of till from drill core).
The data in DRI2018002 are also part of MGS compilation GeoFile 2-2022 which supersedes compilation open file OF2020-3.

The geographic extent of the survey is defined by the following polygons:
-
Covers parts of NTS 53N (Gods River), 53O (Sturgeon Lake), 54B (Kaskattama River) and a small part of 54C (Hayes River) in the Kaskattama highland area, northeastern Manitoba. It is bounded to the east by the Manitoba-Ontario border. The centre of the study area is located approximately 145 km southwest of the western shore of Hudson Bay.
