- Abstract:
- Of the 19 samples collected and processed, 14 contain kimberlite-indicator minerals (KIMs) including pyrope, eclogitic garnet, Cr-diopside, ilmenite, chromite and olivine. KIMs were detected in samples that are located in excess of 90 km away from known kimberlitic sources. It is possible that some of these KIMs were derived from secondary or tertiary sediment sources, or have been glacially transported from known sources (i.e,. long distance dispersion). But some of the KIMs are suspected to be from undiscovered sources. At one site in particular, a number of KIMs were recovered from a till that has drastic textural, mineralogical and geochemical differences from the ubiquitous regional surface till. This likely reflects a different source provenance of the KIMs than those contained within the overlying younger till.
- Purpose:
- During the course of surficial mapping, reconnaissance till samples were collected to document the regional kimberlite-indicator mineral content of the surface tills and to potentially stimulate exploration in areas not near known kimberlite occurrences. Surficial mapping and ice flow reconstruction studies in the Peace River region provide crucial information that have direct implications for kimberlite exploration using drift prospecting.
