Survey Description
In June to August 1968, three geochemical orientation surveys were carried out in the Manitouwadge area: soil and till profiles, regional till samples and regional stream sediments. A total of 791 soil, till and stream sediment samples were collected and analysed for Cu, Pb and Zn. A summary of the study is found in Geological Survey of Canada Report of Activities, Paper 69-1 Part A. The data are found in GAS Files 11, 12 and 13.
In 1994, 43 till samples and 109 stream sediment samples from the 1968 orientation survey were reanalyzed to compare trace metal distribution in tills and stream sediments. In addition, 134 soil and 281 till samples, collected from vertical profiles at sites along two exploration trenches, were also reanalyzed (no Hg) to take advantage of improved geochemical techniques. The data are published in GSC Open File 3562. Some samples were then analysed for mercury and the data are published in GSC Open File 3790 and GSC Current Research 1995-E and further discussed in GSC Current Research 1997-C.
Data Description:
Paper report; data on diskette.
Quantities Analysed:
<0.063 mm fraction of soil and till analysed for 24 elements by ICP-AES after a nitric aqua regia partial digestion.
Geochem Maps Available:
Proportional symbol maps showing dispersal of elements in the <0.063 mm fraction of till and dispersal of clasts in the 5.6-16 mm fraction of till. Soil and till profiles (<0.063 mm fraction) for Nama Creek showing distribution of selected elements.
Other Analyses:
Pebble lithologies; carbonate (<0.063 mm by LECO).
