Survey Description
In August 2020, Quaternary geology fieldwork, including till sampling was conducted over a portion of the buried Fox River greenstone belt in northeastern Manitoba. A total of 318 field sites were visited.
Eighty-nine 2 kg till samples were collected for geochemistry and clast-lithologyfrom the C-horizon. An additional 59 till samples (weighing 11.4 L each) were collected for kimberlite-indicator-mineral analysis.
A summary of the work can be found in Manitoba Geological Survey Report of Activities 2020.
The data are published in MGS Data Repository Item DRI2021010.

The geographic extent of the survey is defined by the following polygons:
-
Covers parts of NTS 53M/15 (Hawes Lake) and 53M/16 (Couture Lake) in northeastern Manitoba. Fox River runs through most of the study area, and Fox Lake is found in the northwest corner. The town of Gillam is located approximately 40 km north of the study area.
