Survey Description


In the summer of 2014, 18 till samples were collected 10 to 200 km north of the Core Zone study area (23I, P) to support GEM-2 bedrock mapping activities.

Two samples were collected at each site, a large till sample (7–13 kg) for recovery of indicator minerals and a ~3 kg sample for geochemical analysis, textural determinations, Munsell colour determination, and archiving.

The data are published in Geological Survey of Canada Open File 7967.
