Survey Description


In 1996, a high-density lake sediment and water survey was conducted in central Labrador.

In total, 619 samples of lake sediment and water were collected at 579 sites using a float-equipped helicopter.

The data are published in Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Mines and Energy Open File 13N/0084 and are also part of a compilation geochemical lake survey, Open File LAB/1465.
