Till sampling, NTS 63O/14, 15, 64B/2, 3, Osik Lake, central Manitoba, 1986.
Survey Description
Approximately 50 till samples were collected in 1986 in the Osik Lake area, central Manitoba. Sampling was carried out in the presumed up-ice direction northeast of sites along highway 391 where ultramafic pebbles and cobbles were found exposed in road cuts along a 10 km stretch of the highway. A summary of the work can be found in Geological Survey of Canada Current Research, Paper 88-1C.
The data are part of a compilation, Geological Survey of Canada Open File 7064.
Data Description:

Quantities Analysed:
<0.002 mm fraction of till and sand-sized heavy mineral fraction of till analysed for ultramafic indicator trace elements. No analytical methods are given.
Geochem Maps Available:
