Survey Description


In 2017, 81 rock samples were collected from the eastern portion of the Labrador Trough in western Labrador.  The samples were collected in the first year of a multi-year project investigating the metallurgy and mineral potential of the region. The samples represent Montagnais Gabbro sills and associated igneous rocks, as well as sulphidebearing sedimentary rocks which the gabbro sills were intruded into.

The data are published in Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Natural Resources Open File LAB/1723.

The geographic extent of the survey is defined by the following polygons:

  • Covers part of NTS 23I/13 (Marion Lake) and a very small part of 23I/12 (Andre Lake; 1 sample) in western Labrador.  It is located approximately 2 km west of the Quebec-Labrador border and is partly bounded to the west by Marion Lake.  The southern part of the study area is located approximately 70 km north-northwest of Lobstick Lake.

  • Covers a very small part of NTS 23J/16 (Hollinger Lake; 3 samples) in western Labrador.  It is located just west of the Quebec-Labrador border and just south of 55°N latitude.

  • Covers part of the western part of NTS 23O/01 (Willbob Lake) and a very small part of 23O/02 (Lac Tait; 3 samples) in western Labrador.  It is located just west of the Quebec-Labrador border and approximately 36 km northwest of the town of Schefferville, QC.

  • Covers a very small part of NTS 23O/02 (Lac Tait; 3 samples) in western Labrador.  It is located just east of the Quebec-Labrador border an approximately 41 km northwest of the town of Schefferville, QC.

  • Covers a very small part of NTS 23O/02 (Lac Tait; 1 sample) in western Labrador.  It is located approximately 1.5 km east of the Quebec-Labrador border and 31 km north-northwest of the town of Schefferville, QC.
