Survey Description
In July 2017, fieldwork was carried out on Boothia Peninsula, north of the hamlet of Taloyoak, Nunavut. Till samples were collected at 15 sites: a 2 kg sample for geochemistry and 10 kg sample for processing of heavy minerals.
A subset of samples previously collected in 2005 and 2007 and published in Geological Survey of Canada Open File 6040 was reanalysed.
A summary of the work can be found in Canada-Nunavut Geoscience Office (CNGO) Summary of Activities 2017.
The data are published in Canada-Nunavut Geoscience Office Geoscience Data Series GDS2021-002 along with other data from central Nunavut and Baffin Island.
