Survey Description


Till samples were collected in 1987 in the Atholville, Escuminac and Oak Bay areas in northern New Brunswick.  The data are published in New Brunswick Department of Natural Resources and Energy Geological Notes Series PM 88-10 and on the following map plates:

 

NTS 21O/15 Map Plates NTS 22B/1, 2 Map Plates Data
88-10B 88-11B Au, As, Sb, Hg, and Bi
88-10C 88-11C Cu, Pb, Zn, and Ag
88-10D 88-11D Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, and Mo

 

Some samples from this area were re-analysed and published in New Brunswick Department of Natural Resources and Energy Open File 2002-9.

Data Description:

Paper report.

Quantities Analysed:

<0.063 mm fraction by AAS after nitric-hydrochloric acid for 9 elements; by colorimetric method for Mo; by fire assay-INAA for Au, and by CV-AA after nitric acid digestion for Hg.

Geochem Maps Available:

Plates show hand-contoured data plots.

The data have also been published as part of a compilation for NTS 21O, 21N and 22B in NB DNRED Open File OF 2021-2.
