Survey Description
To augment the Kaminak Lake till sampling survey (1970-75), 200 additional till samples were collected in 1988 in an area of known gold showings around Turquetil Lake. The data are published in GSC Open File 2132.
Data Description:
Paper report; data files on diskette (OF 2132).
Quantities Analysed:
<0.063 mm fraction by ICP-AES after nitric-aqua regia (3HCl:1HNO3) digestion for 21 elements; by dry fusion fire assay for Au; by ICP-atomic fluorescence after HNO3 digestion for platinum group elements. <0.002 mm fraction by AAS after hot HNO3-HCl digestion for 14 elements. Non-ferromagnetic heavy mineral fraction (0.125-0.250 mm pulverized to 0.063 mm) for suite of elements (OF 2132).
Geochem Maps Available:
Proportional symbol maps show dispersal of most elements (OF 2132).
