Survey Description
In 1974, organic-rich centre lake bottom sediments were collected over an area of 500 square miles on the east Burlington Peninsula (Nippers Harbour, Cape St. John, Baie Verte and Kings Point map sheets). The data are published in Newfoundland Department of Mines and Energy Open File NFLD/0785. The data for As, Mo and F were released in Open File NFLD/0893.
During the same year, 391 organic-rich lake bottom sediments were collected over 700 square miles in the Codroy – St. George area, southwestern Newfoundland. These data are published in Newfoundland Department of Mines and Energy Open File NFLD/787. Data for Sr and Ba were released in Open File NFLD/0876, uranium data in NFLD/906 and gold data in NFLD/1801.
Data from this area were also released as part of a compilation in Open File NFLD/0904.
Some of the samples were reanalyzed and published with data from samples collected at a later date in the following Open Files:
| Mapsheet | Open File | Year |
| 12B | 12B/0237 | 1980 |
| 11O | 11O/0088 | 1980 |
Samples were later reanalyzed by INAA and published with other samples collected in the same areas in the following Open Files:
| Mapsheet | Open File | Year |
| 2E | 2E/0563 | 1988 |
| 12H | 12H/1012 | 1989 |
