Survey Description
In 1987 and 1988, till samples were collected in the St. Alban’s, Mount Sylvester, Twillick Brook, Burnt Hill, Great Gull Lake, Eastern Pond and Miguels Lake map areas, central Newfoundland, using helicopter, ATV and truck. A backhoe was used to collect some of the samples.
A summary of the work can be found in Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Mines and Energy Current Research, Report 90-1.
The samples were analysed in 2011 (ICP-ES) and 2017 (as part of a large F reanalysis project) and are published with samples collected the same area in 2016 in Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Natural Resources Open File NFLD/3341.
Samples from this survey were reanalyzed for fluoride and the data are published in a compilation (Open File NFLD/3344) with samples collected from across the province between 1985 and 2017.
