This release presents the results of a regional till sampling and surficial geology mapping project undertaken in the Mowe Lake area in northwestern Ontario in 2010 and 2011. The data comprise fine-fraction (-63 μm) geochemical analyses and geochemical and compositional analyses of particulate gold grains and metamorphic/magmatic massive sulphide indicator minerals (MMSIM^®*) recovered from 193 till samples. The data are being released in conjunction with Open File Report 6308, available separately. Files, provided as 10 Microsoft^® Excel^® spreadsheets, contain information on sample site locations, geochemical analyses, gold grain data, MMSIM^® data and pebble lithology data.
