Survey Description


In 2007, 18 till samples were collected in the eastern Kisseynew belt, central Manitoba.  A 3 kg and a 10 kg sample were taken at each site.  To evaluate the potential for indicator mineral surveys over the Sherridon VMS Property, one till sample was collected about 100 m down-ice from the East Zone and one sample was collected directly over the surface projection of the deposit.

The data are published in Geological Survey of Canada Open File 7064.

The data are also part of four compilations in Manitoba Agriculture and Resource Development open files OF2020-2, OF2020-3, OF2020-5 and FO2020-6.
