Survey Description


In autumn of 1988, basal till sampling was carried out by Sial Internationale in the Montauban area, southern Quebec.  A total of 106 samples were collected close to access roads using a vibrasonic drill and a mechanical augur.  Eighty-six (86) samples were processed for heavy minerals.  Approximately 50 of the heavy mineral samples were subjected to mineralogical analysis.

The following reports were published:

 

Report Data
MERQ MB 90-20 geochemistry of till (fine fraction)
MRNQ MB 96-31 geochemistry of till (hmc fraction)
MRNQ MB 94-42 mineralogical analysis (gahnite)

MERQ = Ministère de l'Énergie et des Ressources

MRNQ =  Ministère des Ressources naturelles du Québec
