Bundle Description

Geochemical results of till samples collected in the Atholville (NTS 21O/15), Escuminac (22B/01) and Oak Bay (22B/02) regions, New Brunswick.

The <63 micron fraction of till was analysed for 28 trace elements using instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA).  Hg was analysed using cold vapour atomic absorption spectrometry (Hg-CVAAS).  X-ray fluorescence (XRF) was used to analyse the samples for Bi and Sn.  The analyses were carried out by X-Ray Assay Laboratories (XRAL) in Toronto, Ontario.

The analytical data were obtained from Mike Parkhill in 2005 (in an MS Excel spreadsheet).
