Survey Description
Till samples were collected between 1990 and 1995 in the Forest City (FC) and Fosterville (FV) map areas, southwest New Brunswick and are summarized below:
| Year | Mapsheet | Count |
| 1990 | FC | 89 |
| 1990 | FV | 11 |
| 1992 | FC | 5 |
| 1992 | FV | 167 |
| 1993 | FV | 26 |
| 1995 | FV | 2 |
The data are published in New Brunswick Department of Resources and Energy Open File Reports 92-6, 93-7. Follow-up work for the Forest City and Fosterville areas can be found in Open File Reports 93-8 and 94-8 respectively. A compilation of all the data can be found in New Brunswick Department of Natural Resources and Energy Open File Report 99-7.
Data Description:
Paper report. Digital data on diskette.
Quantities Analysed:
<0.063 mm fraction by AAS after hot HNO3 digestion for Ag, Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn; by AAS following HCl-HNO3 (3:1) extraction for Ag, Bi, and Cd; by CV-AAS after HNO3-HCl-SnCl2 extraction for Hg; by INAA for 34 elements. Follow-up samples from the Fosterville area were also analysed for Ag, Cd, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn by ICP-ES.
Geochem Maps Available:
Contour maps showing dispersal of selected elements.
Other Analyses:
Grain-size (<2 mm); pebble lithologies.
