Survey Description
Between 1978 and 1980, a glaciofluvial sediment (esker) sampling survey was conducted in the Abitibi region, Quebec. The area covers 63000 km 2. A total of 3000 samples were collected from horizons B and C, at an average density of 1 sample per 70 km 2 Samples were analysed for Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, Co (<177 microns fraction, atomic absorption).
The data are published in Open File MB-86-42, Department of Energy and Resources, 1986. This survey is also part of a compilation DPV-608, published in 1979.
