Survey Description
In 2017 and 2018, till samples were collected in the Silver Mountain map sheet, northwestern Newfoundland.
In total, 88 B-, C- or BC- horizon till samples were collected. Eleven of the samples collected in 2018 were to follow up high gold results from the 2017 sampling. At each site, a 2-3 kg sample was collected for geochemistry and a sample weighing 10-15 kg was collected for heavy mineral processing.
The geochemical data are published in Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Industry, Energy and Technology Open File 12H/11/2330.
