Survey Description
During July 2010, July 2011, and June to August 2012, regional till samples were collected west of Repulse Bay, central Nunavut. A total of 298 till samples were collected from hand-dug pits in frost boils at an average depth of 32 cm. At each site two samples were collected: a ~3 kg sample for geochemistry and a ~13 kg sample for heavy mineral processing.
The data are published in Geological Survey of Canada Open Files 7288 and 7748.
