Survey Description
Till samples were collected in 1988 from 135 sites in Albert County in southeastern New Brunswick. Samples were collected in 21H/10 (Alma, 43 sites), 21H/15 (Hillsborough, 69 sites), 21H/11 (Waterford, 21 sites) and 21H/14 (Petitcodiac, 2 sites). The data were released as part of a Master’s thesis by M. Foisy at the University of Quebec at Montreal and published in New Brunswick Department of Natural Resources and Energy Open File Report 89-51 and Map Plates 90-34A, 90-34B.
Data Description:
Paper report (thesis), no data listings.
Quantities Analysed:
Au, Ag, As, Hg and Sb by Chemex Labs Ltd.; Cu, Pb, Zn, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Ag, V, Sb by the New Brunswick Ministry of Natural Resources and Energy labs (no size fraction or methods given).
Plates 90-34A, B: <0.063 mm fraction analyzed for Au by FA-NAA; Ag and As by AAS after HNO3 aqua regia digestion; Hg by flameless AAS after HNO3-HCl digestion; Sb by AAS after HCl-KClO3 digestion and extraction into organic gel. Cu, Pb, Zn, Mn, Fe, Co and Ni by AAS.
Geochem Maps Available:
Proportional dot maps showing distribution of selected elements.
Plates 90-34A, B: maps have analytical values listed at the side.
