Mineral Research Core Facility (MCRF)
Mineral core and rock samples are selected by an AGS geologist, and exploration companies are directed to send these materials to the MCRF in Edmonton. The core is catalogued, stored and is available for logging or sampling by the public, industry or the scientific community.
General information regarding this facility and how to view the core.
