Survey Description
In 1982, a geochemical orientation survey was carried out on the Sisson Brook Mining Licence where three zones of W-Mo-Cu mineralization have been outlined. Profile samples of O, A, B and C horizons and unaltered till were collected. In 1983, whole till samples were collected and were combined with the corresponding 1982 whole till geochemical data to give a total population of 157 overburden samples. In all, samples were taken from 56 backhoe trenches and 9 hand-dug pits. The study is described in Journal of Geochemical Exploration v.28.
Data Description:
Paper report, no data lists but element data in tables and diagrams.
Quantities Analysed:
2.00-0.180 mm, 0.180-0.075 mm, and <0.075 analyzed by AAS after HNO3/HCl digestion for Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, Ag, Mo and Fe, for As by colourimetry, F by ion-selective electrode, W by fusion and colourimetry, Sn by XRF and Bi by AAS after HNO3 digestion. <2.00 mm ground to <0.075 mm for Cu, Mo and W by same techniques as above.
Geochem Maps Available:
Soil profiles of trench samples.
Other Analyses:
HMC for selected elements.
