Survey Description


In 2007 and 2008, samples of stream sediment, stream water and till were collected in the Ts'ude niline Tu'eyeta (Ramparts River and wetlands) Candidate Protected Area in Northwest Territories.  The work was part of a non-renewable resource assessment of minerals.  The following sample types were collected:

 

Number of Samples Sample Type
318 bulk stream sediment
88 till
682 stream sediment
688 stream water

 

Heavy mineral concentrates from the bulk stream sediment and till samples were processed for kimberlite indicator minerals (KIM), magmatic/metamorphosed massive sulphide indicator minerals (MMSIM) and gold grains.

The data are published in Northwest Territories Geoscience Office (NTGO) NWT Open File 2010-07.

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