Survey Description
During the summers of 1969 to 1972, samples of granitoid plutonic bodies were sampled in Yukon Territory and adjoining parts of Northwest Territories. A total of 1523 sites in 101 plutons were sampled in duplicate, leading to 3046 samples. Where possible, a minimum of 15 sites were sampled per pluton. For each sample, fresh rock chips weighing between 1 and 1.5 kg were collected over a small area. The duplicate sample was taken approximately 6 m from the first.
The data can be found in unpublished GAS (Geochemical Analysis System) files G020. The data also are published in Geological Survey of Canada Open File 2479.
An additional 642 non-granitoid samples were collected from 321 sites. These samples were not analysed and the field data were never captured digitally. Sample locations are recorded on the original field cards, which are stored in GSC archives at 601 Booth St, Ottawa, but the samples have been lost.
