Authors: Pawlowicz, J.G.; Dufresne, M.B.; Fenton, M.M.

Executive Summary

Regional till sampling for geochemistry and diamond indicator minerals has been ongoing in Alberta since 1992, initially as part of the Canada-Alberta Agreement on Mineral Development (MDA) program in Alberta. Indicator results from 1992 to 1994 were published in Dufresne et al. (1996), the Diamond Potential of Alberta. Each year AGS has continued reconnaissance scale till sampling throughout Northern Alberta. The report releases the results from the 125 samples collected from 1995 to 1997.
