Survey Description
In 2009, till samples were collected in the Ka'a'gee Tu Candidate Protected Area in southern Northwest Territories. The work was part of a non-renewable resource assessment of minerals and the samples were processed for kimberlite indicator minerals (KIM), magmatic/metamorphosed massive sulphide indicator minerals (MMSIM) and gold grains.
Samples of limestone bedrock were also collected and details are found in NWT Open Report 2010-007.
The data are published in Northwest Territories Geoscience Office (NTGO) NWT Open File 2011-01. This open file includes data for some of the limestone samples, including two that are found well outside the study area.

The geographic extent of the survey is defined by the following polygons:
-
Covers parts of NTS 85C, D, E and F, the Ka'a'gee Tu candidate protected area, southern Northwest Territories. It covers the area surrounding Kakisa and Tathlina Lakes between the Cameron Hills and Great Slave Lake. The Mackenzie Highway crosses the northern part of the study area.
-
Covers a very small part of NTS 85K/01 (untitled; 1 sample) in south-central Northwest Territories. It is located along the Mackenzie Highway (Highway 3), approximately 64 km west of Great Slave Lake and 103 km west of Yellowknife.
-
Covers a very small part of NTS 85A/13 (Salt Lake; 1 sample) in south-central Northwest Territories. It is located along Fort Resolution Highway, south of Great Slave Lake and just east of where Little Buffalo River crosses the highway.
