Survey Description


In 2010, bulk till samples were collected in 3 areas south of Red Indian Lake, central Newfoundland.  One 22 L pail was collected at 49 sites for heavy mineral processing.

The samples were collected where a REE anomaly and a Mo anomaly in till were identified during previous work in the area.  Background samples were also collected.

The data are published in Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Natural Resources Open File NFLD/3171.
