Survey Description
Between 1965 and 1967, a stream sediment sampling survey was conducted in the Mistassini, Péribonca and Saguenay rivers region, Quebec. The area covers 100,000 km 2. A total of 1843 samples were collected at an average density of 1 sample per 54.3 km 2 and analysed for:
| Element | Dissolution | Technique |
| Cu, Pb, Zn |
HNO 3 |
visual colorimetry |
| U |
HNO 3 |
visual colorimetry |
| Ni | pyrosulfate fusion | visual colorimetry |
| Mo | HCl | visual colorimetry |
The data are published in geological report RG-161, Department of Natural Resources, 1975. This report is the first of a series of 3 publications following a geological reconnaissance program in the Grenville Province, known as the "Grenville Project".
