Survey Description
In 2015, till samples were collected in The Topsails-Rainy Lake area, north-central Newfoundland:
| NTS | Map Sheet Name | Number of Till Samples |
| 12A/13 | Corner Brook | 3 |
| 12A/14 | Rainy Lake | 160 |
| 12H/02 | The Topsails | 254 |
| 12H/03 | Deer Lake | 82 |
Samples (~1 kg) were collected from the C- or BC- soil horizon from hand-dug pits, road cuts, ditches and mudboils. Along roads, the sampe density was one sample every one linear kilometre and one sample every 4 km2 for helicopter-supported sampling.
The data are published in Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Natural Resources Open File NFLD/3301.
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.
