Survey Description
270 till samples were collected in 1992 at a regional scale in the Cavers Lake-Hollinger Lake area in western Labrador over the eastern part of the Labrador Trough. In addition, 70 till samples were collected at a detailed scale near Martin Lake in the northern part of the study area. The data are published in Newfoundland Department of Mines and Energy Open File 23J/0303.
Data Description:
Paper report; digital maps and database available.
Quantities Analysed:
<0.063 mm fraction by ICP-AES for 29 elements; by AAS for 4 elements; by INAA for 27 elements.
Geochem Maps Available:
Maps 93-113 to 93-112 show the sample locations and distribution of selected elements.
Other Analyses:
Grain size (<2 mm fraction).
Samples from this survey were reanalyzed for fluoride and the data are published in a compilation (Open File LAB/1778) with samples collected from across Labrador between 1983 and 2004.
