Survey Description


In 1996, 344 samples of B-C horizon soil were collected from hand dug pits in the Marion Lake area, northwest Labrador.  Sites were located at 200 m intervals along lines spaced 1 km apart.  As a check on sampling variability, six pairs of duplicate samples were taken from sites located within 25 m of each other.  The data are published in Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Mines and Energy Open File LAB/1231.

Data Description:

Paper report with data diskette.

Quantities Analysed:

<0.180 mm fraction by INAA for a large suite of elements; by ICP-ES after HF-HClO 4-HCl total digestion for an extensive suite of elements; by AAS after HF-HClO 4-HCl for Cr, Mo; by AAS after HNO 3-HCl for Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn; by AAS after HNO 3 for Ag; by fluoride-ion selective electrode associated after fusion with Na 2CO 3-KNO 3 flux for F.

Geochem Maps Available:
