Survey Description
Between 1996 and 1997, 160 till samples were collected on the Con Property, Contwoyto Lake area, Nunavut. The property is located 400 km northeast of Yellowknife on the east shore of Contwoyto Lake. Some samples were also collected from eskers, frost boils, and other features indicative of glacial deposition.
The samples, weighing approximately 20-25 kilograms, were processed for heavy minerals by Ashton's laboratory in North Vancouver. Forty-four samples returned positive indicator counts. These indicator minerals were used to determine ice-flow direction and to trace potential kimberlitic sources.
The data can be found in Nunavut Assessment Report 084151.
