Between 1966 and 1968, a soil sampling survey was conducted in the Orléans island region and in Bellechasse and Montmagny counties, Quebec. A total of 375 samples were collected at an average density of 1 sample per 5.3 km2 and analysed for:
| Element | Dissolution | Technique |
| Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni |
HNO3 |
atomic absorption (AAS) |
| U |
HNO3 |
visual colorimetry |
| Mo | HCl | visual colorimetry |
In 1969, a stream sediment sampling survey was conducted in Bellechasse and Dorchester counties. A total of 140 samples were collected at an average density of 1 sample per 14.3 km2 and analysed for:
| Element | Dissolution | Technique |
| Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, Co, Mn, Sb, Ag |
HNO3 |
atomic absorption (AAS) |
| U |
HNO3 |
visual colorimetry |
| Mo, Sn | HCl | visual colorimetry |
The area covers 2000 km2.The data are published in Open File DP-408, Department of Natural Resources, 1976.
