Survey Description


During the summer of 1971, a stream sediment sampling survey was conducted by SOQUEM in the Ste-Cécile-de-Whitton area, Quebec.  The area covers 3300 km 2.  A total of 6380 samples were collected at an average density of 1 sample per 0.5 km 2 and analysed for Cu, Zn, Pb, Ni, Co, Mn, Mo, Ag (atomic absorption), U (fluorimetry) and loss on ignition.

Subsequently, the samples were transferred to MERQ and data were published in Open File DP 84-45, Department of Energy and Resources, 1984.
