Survey Description


192 till samples were collected in the Kikerk Lake area, Nunavut in 1995.  The data are published in GSC Open File 3360.

Data Description:

Paper report; data files on diskette (WP, ASCII and Excel).

Quantities Analysed:

<0.002 mm fraction by ICP-AES after aqua-regia solution (3HCl-1HNO3) for 16 elements; <0.063 mm fraction by INAA for 16 elements.

Geochem Maps Available:

Proportional symbol maps show dispersal of elements.

  • Covers NTS 86P (Kikerk Lake), Nunavut.  It is bounded to the north by Coronation Gulf and to the south by 67°N latitude.

  • Covers a very small part of NTS 86P/13 (untitled; 1 sample) in western Nunavut.  It is located on one of the Berens Islands in Coronation Gulf, approximately 22 km north of mainland Nunavut.

  • Covers a very small part of NTS 86P/14 (untitled; 1 sample) in western Nunavut.  It is located on one of the Lawford Islands in Coronation Gulf, approximately 23 km north of mainland Nunavut.

  • Covers a very small part of NTS 86P/13 (untitled; 1 sample) in western Nunavut.  It is located on one of the Sir Graham Moore Islands in Coronation Gulf, approximately 15 km north of mainland Nunavut.

  • Covers a very small part of NTS 76M/5 (untitled; 1 sample) in western Nunavut.  The centre of the study area is located approximately 2 km north of James River.

  • Covers a very small part of NTS 76M/2 (untitled; 1 sample) in western Nunavut.  The study area is located just south of James River.

  • Covers a very small part of NTS 76M/7 (High Lake; 1 sample) in western Nunavut.  The centre of the study area is located approximately 4.4 km northeast of High Lake.

  • Covers a very small part of NTS 76M/9 (untitled; 1 sample) in western Nunavut.  The centre of the study area is located approximately 9 km north of 67.5°N latitude and 6 km west of 110°W longitude, along the Wentzel River.
