Survey Description
During the summer of 1983, B-horizon and till samples were collected at 174 sites in the Trousers Lake area, northwest New Brunswick. At each site, a hole was dug with a spade into parent material. B-horizon samples weighing between 1.5 and 2.5 kg were collected. C-horizon samples were collected in 12 L buckets and sieved and panned in the nearest brook or lake. If digging the hole was impossible due to large boulders or there was a lack of parent or B-horizon material, the sample location was moved up to 200 m in any direction.
The data are published in New Brunswick Department of Natural Resources Report of Investigation No. 20 and Map Plates MP 84-24 to 84-27.
Data Description:
Paper report.
Quantities Analysed:
<0.180 mm fraction of B-horizon digested with nitric acid (HNO3) analyzed for Cu, Pb, Zn, Ag, Mn, Co, Ni, Fe by AAS and for Mo by colourimetry. <0.180 mm fraction of C-horizon samples were fused with potassium bisulphate and leached with concentrated HCl. Samples analyzed for U by neutron activation- delayed neutron counting and Au by neutron activation-gamma spectroscopy. W also analysed, but no method given.
Geochem Maps Available:
Contour maps for Cu, Pb, Zn. Map with element values listed at each sample site.
Other Analyses:
Pebble counts.
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.
