Application Of Till And Stream Sediment Heavy Mineral And Geochemical Methods To Mineral Exploration In Western And Northern Canada

Proceedings of a drift exploration short course presented at the Geological Association of Canada’s 2007 meeting in Yellowknife, examining the application of till, stream sediment, heavy mineral, and geochemical methods to mineral exploration in western and northern Canada. Contributions from government surveys, academia, and the exploration industry address glacial dispersal processes, ice-flow mapping, sampling techniques, indicator mineral methods, and geochemical interpretation in a variety of terrains and deposit settings. Topics include kimberlite dispersal trains, Ni-Cu-PGE indicator minerals, uranium and gold exploration, quality control in heavy mineral surveys, and drift prospecting in prairie and permafrost environments.
