Geochemical studies in glaciated terrain, Newfoundland, 1972
Project Description
In the summer of 1972, pilot geochemical exploration studies were carried out to test and evaluate the effectiveness of various regional and detailed techniques for base metal exploration within two distinct geological terrains in Newfoundland:
| Area | Geological Terrain | Sample Types |
| Daniel’s Harbour | zinc sulphide deposits (carbonate rocks) |
lake sediment and water stream sediment and water basal till soil (B + C horizons) |
| New Pond Bay south of Notre Dame Bay | massive sulphide deposit (volcanic rocks) |
lake sediment and water stream sediment and water till (upper and basal) soil (B + C horizons) |
The data are published in Newfoundland Department of Mines and Energy, Report 75-2.
