Survey Description
Helicopter-supported sample collection was carried out during the summer of 1997 on northern Bathurst Island and Vanier Island. Stream sediment and water samples were collected at 57 sites. Material targeted for sampling consisted of silt gathered at a point on a primary or secondary stream just below a ‘break’, a point where the grade decreases, the flow of water slows, and sediments are deposited. Sediments were gathered wherever possible from the active main channel, usually from the lee side of rocks or other channel obstructions. Obvious bank sediments were avoided. Water samples (250 mL) were collected in wide-mouth polyethylene bottles. The data are published in MERA report, GSC Open File 3714 (Part D). This report also includes data from the 1995 and 1996 surveys previously published in Open Files 3292 and 3566 respectively.
This survey was carried out using National Geochemical Reconnaissance (NGR) protocols.
