Survey Description


In 1972, a stream sediment sampling survey was conducted in the south-east quarter of Dufay township, Quebec.  The area covers 70 km2.  A total of 107 samples were collected at an average density of 1 sample per 0.6 km2.  Samples were screened to obtain the <177 microns fraction and theses fractions were analysed for:

 

Element Dissolution Technique
Cu, Pb, Zn, Mn, Ni, Co, Ag, Mn

HNO3

 atomic absorption (AAS)
U

HNO3

 paper chromatography

 

The data are published in Open File DP-592, Department of Natural Resources, 1978.  This survey is part of a compilation of geochemical surveys published in DV 87-22.
