Survey Description
During the summers of 1972-1975, a stream sediment sampling survey was conducted in the north-west of Gaspé Peninsula, Quebec. The area covers 9000 km2 (NTS sheets 22B/3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15 and 22G/2). Approximately 20,000 samples were collected at an average density of 1 sample per 0.4 km2 and analysed for:
| Element | Dissolution | Technique |
| Cu, Zn, Pb, Co, Ni, Mn, Sn, Mo | atomic absorption (AAS) | |
| U | paper chromatography |
The data are published in Open File DPV-563, Department of Energy and Resources, Quebec, 1978. Some samples were reanalysed for arsenic and results are published in DV 87-18.
