Survey Description


From May 30 to August 8, 1979, 2877 lake bottom sediment samples were collected from approximately 20,600 km2 in southwestern Newfoundland.  The sampling density averaged one sample per 7.1 km2.  The data were released as 6 individual Open Files:

 

Map Sheet Open File Year
11O 11O/0088 1980
11P 11P/0062 1980
12A 12A/0249 1980
12B 12B/0237 1980
12G 12G/0074 1980
12H 12H/0570 1980

 

These Open Files also include reanalyses of some samples collected in the area prior to 1979 and previously released (Open Files NFLD/0787, NFLD/0708).

Samples from parts of NTS 12A, B were analysed for gold and published in Open File NFLD/1801 with samples collected from those map sheets in other years.

Samples from the 1979 survey were reanalyzed by INAA and published with other reanalyses from the same map sheets in the following Open Files:
