Survey Description
In 2009 and 2010, stream sediment and water samples were collected in the Shúhtagot'ine Néné Candidate Protected Area, western Northwest Territories. The work was part of a non-renewable resource assessment of minerals. Over the two field seasons, the following samples were collected:
| Number of Samples | Sample Type |
| 742 | bulk stream sediment |
| 3,050 | stream sediment |
| 2,808 | stream water |
Heavy mineral concentrates from the bulk stream sediment 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 2012-01.
This survey was carried out using National Geochemical Reconnaissance (NGR) protocols.
