Geochemical and mineralogical data for stream sediment and proximal till sites, Ellice River area, Nunavut (parts of NTS 76-H and NTS 76-I) / M.W. McCurdy and I. McMartin.: M183-2/8302E-PDF

“This report releases the field database and analytical results from a targeted stream sediment and till sampling survey completed during six days in 2016 over parts of NTS 76-H and 76-I as part of the Geological Survey of Canada’s GEM-2 Thelon tectonic zone project, southeast of Bathurst Inlet, mainland Nunavut. The survey covers parts of the Thelon tectonic zone and adjacent Slave craton, and crosses the terminus of the Dubawnt Lake ice stream. Field observations and geochemical data from 39 stream sampling stations are published in spreadsheet format. Mineralogical data derived from heavy mineral concentrate samples collected at 17 of the 39 stream stations are included with this report. Surface till samples were collected at 11 field stations proximal to stream stations. Matrix geochemistry, indicator minerals, clast lithology and grain size distribution were determined in till samples. Field observations and till compositional datasets appear in separate spreadsheets in the appendices. A preliminary interpretation of the combined datasets with implications for mineral potential in three follow-up areas is presented at the end of the report”--Abstract, p. 1.
