Survey Description
In 1987, Quaternary mapping and till sampling were carried out in the Gander River map sheet (NTS 2E/02) in central Newfoundland. Approximately 125 till samples were collected.
In 1993, a total of 237 regional till samples were collected to augment the 1987 work and to fill in an area between that study and Birchy Bay.
The data are published in Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Mines and Energy Open File 2E/1162.
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.
