More than 135 till samples were collected in central Nova Scotia in 1978. The data are published in Nova Scotia Department of Mines and Energy Map 81-01.
Data Description:
Paper map; map margin has data tables keyed to samples located on the map.
Quantities Analysed:
<0.002 mm fraction by AAS after HNO3-HCl for at least 12 elements; by colourimetry for As and by fluorometry for U; heavy mineral concentrate (0.063-0.300 mm fraction) by colourimetry after a carbonate flux-fusion followed by hot water leach for W and by AAS after ammonium iodide sublimation followed by HCl leach for Sn.
Geochem Maps Available:
Sample sites with anomalous element levels are indicated on map.
