Survey Description
In 2007 and 2008, till samples were collected south of Red Indian Lake in west-central Newfoundland. In total, 1146 samples and 64 field duplicates were collected.
Samples were collected from C- and BC- horizons from hand dug pits (~45 cm depth) and road cuts (~40-100 cm depth). The sampling density was 1 sample per km 2 in areas of good access and 1 sample per 4 km 2 where helicopter support was required.
The data are published in Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Natural Resources Open File 12A/1449.
The data are also published in Open File 12A/1562 with data from samples collected in the Red Indian Lake Basin in 2009-2012.
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.
