Survey Description


In autumn 2007, lake bottom sediments were collected in the Sept-Rivières regional county municipality (Sept-Îles region), Quebec.  In total, 1657 samples were collected by Geo Data Solutions GDS Inc. over an area of 21,500 km 2 with a sampling density of approximately 1 sample per 13 km 2.

The samples were analysed by ICP-MS for 53 elements after an aqua regia digestion at Acme Labs Vancouver.  A subset of samples from the Fermont area collected in 1987 and from the Havre-Saint-Pierre area colleted in 1988 were reanalysed using the same method as the samples collected in 2007.
