Survey Description
In 2009 to 2012, a total of 1107 till samples were collected in the Red Indian Lake Basin area, west-central Newfoundland.
Samples were collected from the C- and BC-soil horizons in hand-dug pits and roadcuts. Where there was an absence of till, samples were collected from bedrock detritus. The sampling density was 1 sample per km2 in areas of good access and 1 sample per 4 km2 where helicopter support was required.
The data are published in Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Natural Resources Open File 12A/1562, along with data from samples collected in 2007 and 2008 in the same area.
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.
