Survey Description


During the summers of 2010 and 2011, till (n=96), stream sediment (n=12) and bedrock samples (n=54) were collected in the Pine Point district, Northwest Territories.  Samples were collected by GSC, Tamerlane Ventures Inc., and the University of Alberta from open pits and Tamerlane’s diamond drill core.  Till samples were collected from open pits on the Pine Point property.

The following open files were published:

 

Sample Type GSC Open File Data
Bedrock, stream sediment, till 7267 Raw indicator mineral abundance data
Till 7320 Geochemistry
Till and bedrock 7423 Indicator minerals
Stream sediments 7577 Geochemistry
