Survey Description
Stream water samples were collected in the vicinity of the former Rambler Mines on the Baie Verte Peninsula, Newfoundland to asses the impact of mining operations on water quality in the surrounding drainage systems. Samples were collected in background areas and downstream from mine workings and tailings.
| Year | Number of Samples | Comments |
| 1993 | 86 | 54 samples are from 29 sites that were sampled in both early June and late August |
| 2000 | unknown | several of the 1993 sites as well as additional sites were sampled |
| 2001 | 45 | samples were collected from 42 sites including 12 sites sampled in 1993 and 2000 |
A description of the study can be found in Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Mines and Energy Currrent Research 2002.

-
Covers part of NTS 12H/16 (Baie Verte) in the area of the former Rambler Mines on the Baie Verte Peninsula, northern Newfoundland. The centre of the study area is located approximately 8.5 km southeast of the town of Baie Verte. The junction of highways 414 and 418 is found in the central part of the study area.
