Survey Description
In 1989, samples of active stream sediments and overbank sediments were collected along the southern coast of Newfoundland in the Bay d’Espoir-Hermitage Bay-Fortune Bay area.
The two sample types were collected to evaluate the relative effectiveness of the two methods. In total, 71 stream sediment and 63 overbank sediment samples were collected.
To evaluate optimal geochemical responses, the samples were split intovarious size fractions and were processed for heavy minerals.
The data are published in Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Mines and Energy Open File 1M/0319.
