Survey Description


More than 350 till samples and 285 humus samples were collected in the Annabel Lake-Amisk Lake area, east central Saskatchewan, between 1992 and 1994.  The data are published in GSC Open File 3026.

These data are also part of a compilation, Geological Survey of Canada Open File 7064.

Data Description:

Paper report; data files on diskette (ASCII).

Quantities Analysed:

<0.425 mm of humus and <0.063 mm and <0.002 mm fractions of till by ICP-AES after nitric aqua-regia digestion for 32 elements; <0.063 mm fraction by CV-AAS for Hg and by fire assay/ICP-AAS for Au, Pt, and Pd; <0.002 mm fraction by CV-AAS for Hg.

Geochem Maps Available:

Proportional symbol maps showing dispersal of elements in the <0.002 and <0.063 mm of till and in the <0.425 mm fraction of humus.

Other Analyses:

Pebble lithologies (4-8 mm fraction); heavy mineral concentrate for gold grain counts and non-magnetic point counts; <0.063 mm fraction for carbonate by AAS after HCl leach.
