Survey Description
In 1960 and 1961, samples from exposed bedrock were collected in the Red Lake-Lansdowne House area of northern Ontario. In total 7963 samples weighing 1-1.5 kg were collected during the course of geological mapping in a 111,300 km2 area of the Canadian Shield. Samples of the most representative rock type were collected at ~1.6 km intervals, giving an overall sampling density of approximately 1 sample per 8-10 km2. In areas of sparse outcrop, the coverage was not as good.
A description and results of the work can be found in Geological Survey of Canada Papers 63-5 and 63-23 as well as GSC Bulletin 130. Copper content in bedrock for each of the seven NTS map sheets is published in GSC Preliminary Maps 50-1963 to 56-1963.
