Survey Description
Till samples were collected at 110 sites in the Patterson Island area, Reindeer Lake, northeast Saskatchewan. They were spaced 1 to 2 km where accessibility was good. Bulk till samples (~10 kg) were taken where possible from the C-horizon in pits hand dug to an average depth of 1 m. These samples will be submitted for kimberlite and base metal indicator minerals. A 1 kg sample was also collected from each pit for geochemical and textural analyses. A summary of the work can be found in Saskatchewan Geological Survey Summary of Investigations 2003, Miscellaneous Report 2003-4.2.
Data Description:
Digital report on CD and web.
Quantities Analysed:

Geochem Maps Available:
None.
Other Analyses:
Kimberlite and base metal indicator minerals; lithology counts on pebbles from the 6-10 mm fraction of till; gold and platinum grain counts.
