Survey Description
In July and August 2012, regional till samples were collected south of Wager Bay in central Nunavut. A total of 29 samples were collected from the 45 sites visited. Till samples were collected mainly from Cy-horizon material from hand dug pits in frost boils, at an average depth of 34 cm. At each till site, a ~3 kg sample (geochemistry) and a ~12.5 kg sample were collected (heavy minerals).
The data are published in Geological Survey of Canada Open File 7417.
