Drift Prospecting for Gold in the Kaminak Lake- Turquetil Lake Area, District of Keewatin

چکیده
. Introduction In 1988, closely spaced samples of glacial sediments were collected around known gold mineralization in the Turquetil-Maguse Lake region of southern District of Keewatin. As part of this project, several thousand archived samples, from both detailed and regional drift sampling programs carried out between 1970 and 1975 in the same region, were reanalyzed for a wide range of elements, including gold and platinum group elements using ICP methods. The results of the 1988 sampling were evaluated in light of the geochemical patterns derived from the analysis of archived samples Shilts and Wyatt, 1989).

The area underlain by the Barkerville Terrane has an important exploration and mining history dating from the discovery of placer gold on Keithley Creek in 1860. Placer gold production peaked in the 1860s, but continues at a modest scale to the present time. Lode gold production came mainly from the Wells mining camp, located near some of the richest placer streams in the district, between 1933...
