Survey Description
In 1985, 265 till sites were sampled on a regularly spaced 2 km grid in the Tetagouche Lakes area of northern New Brunswick. B-horizon and C-horizon samples were taken. The data are published in New Brunswick Department of Forests, Mines and Energy Geological Notes Series P.M. 86-216. Gold values in till are plotted on Map Plate 86-216B.
Some samples from this area were re-analysed and published in New Brunswick Department of Natural Resources and Energy Open File 2002-9.
Data Description:
Paper report with partial data lists. Rest of analytical results available separately.
Quantities Analysed:
C-horizon <0.002 mm fraction by AAS for 10 elements; by colourimetry for As; by XRF for Sb. B-horizon <0.177 mm by AAS for 8 elements; by colourimetry for Mo and Sb; heavy minerals by INAA for 21 elements.
Geochem Maps Available:
Map showing dispersal of Au (B-, C-horizons, pan concentrate) and As with element value (as a number) at each site.
Other Analyses:
Heavy minerals taken from sites with base metal and/or gold pathfinder anomalies.
The data have also been published as part of a compilation for NTS 21O, 21N and 22B in NB DNRED Open File OF 2021-2.
