Bundle Description

93 till samples from surveys across New Brunswick were re-analysed in 2006.  The samples were analysed in an attempt to “level” the analytical data from numerous surveys which had been analysed previously by a variety of methods in different laboratories.

The samples were analysed for 7 trace elements using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and for 19 trace elements (including S, excluding Bi) using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES).  The samples were analysed for 33 trace elements (no Ca, Sr) using instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA).  Mercury was determined by cold vapour atomic absorption spectrometry (Hg-CVAAS) using the Flow Injection Mercury System (FIMS).  The analyses (1H2 + 1G2 package) were performed by Activation (Actlabs) Labs Ltd., Ancaster, Ontario.
