Bundle Description

Geochemical results of till samples collected in the Canterbury region (NTS 21G/14), New Brunswick.

The < 63 micron fraction of till was analysed for 33 trace elements using instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA).  Hg was analysed using cold vapour atomic absorption spectrometry (Hg-CVAAS).  Sn was analysed by lithium (Li) borate fusion followed by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES).  The analyses were carried out by Actlabs Ltd., Ancaster, Ontario.

The analytical data were obtained from Al Seaman in 2005 (in an MS Excel spreadsheet).
