Survey Description


In 2014, stream sediment and water samples were collected at 92 sites in the Ellice River area, southeast of Bathurst Inlet, Nunavut.  Bulk stream sediment samples used for the processing of heavy minerals were collected at 36 of the sites.

The data are published in Geological Survey of Canada Open File 7887.

This survey was carried out using National Geochemical Reconnaissance (NGR) protocols.
