Sevogle (21P/4W), New Brunswick till samples (Doiron – GSC Quebec) - INRS XRF + INA analyses

Type: lab data

Bundle Description

Geochemical results of till samples collected in the Sevogle area of New Brunswick are presented. The Sevogle map area is located in Northumberland County and northeastern Gloucester County which corresponds to NTS map sheet 21 P/4 west part. The study excludes the Big Hole Tract Indian Reserve 8.

The till samples were analysed for 38 trace elements using instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) and x-ray fluorescence (XRF). The samples were irradiated using INAA on a 3 monitor reactor at McMaster University. XRF analysis of the samples was performed by laboratories at the Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS- Géoressources) in Sainte-Foy, Quebec.

The geochemical results of this survey were reported by A. Doiron and É. Boisvert, Geological Survey of Canada, Quebec Office.

The data were published in New Brunswick Department of Natural Resources and Energy (NBDNRE) (Canada) Open File 99-3.

Analytical Package Description

Laboratory: Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS-Géoressources), Sainte-Foy, Quebec

Name: INRS XRF + INAA (high detection limits) ( more)

The samples were analysed for 38 trace elements using instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) and x-ray fluorescence (XRF).  INAA at high detection limits (calculated at the 2σ level) was performed at McMaster University. Analyses by XRF were performed at the Institut national de la recherche scientifique - Géoressources (INRS) in Sainte-Foy, Quebec
