Bundle Description

Geochemical results of till samples collected in the Alma (NTS 21H/10), Waterford (21H/11) and Salmon River (21H/6) regions, New Brunswick.

The <63 micron fraction of till was analysed for 35 trace elements using instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) and for 7 trace elements using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES).  Hg was analysed using cold vapour atomic absorption spectrometry (Hg-CVAAS).  The analyses were carried out by Actlabs Ltd., Ancaster, Ontario.

The analytical data were obtained from Toon Pronk in September 2006, in the format originally delivered by ActLabs.

They replace the analytical data that were obtained from Serge Allard in 2005 (in an Excel spreadsheet compilation of Fundy Model Forest data), which were corrupted and incomplete.
