Survey Description
During the winter of 1983-1984, a helicopter supported lake sediment sampling survey was conducted by the SIAL company in the Schefferville area, Quebec. The area covers 9200 km 2. A total of 3555 samples were collected at an average density of 1 sample per 2.6 km 2. In most cases, sampling was conducted on lakes larger than 1 km. Samples were analyzed for:
| Element | Dissolution | Technique |
| Ag, Al, B, Ba, Be, Ca, Cd, Ce, Co, Cr, Cu, Eu, Fe, Hg, K, La, Li, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Ni, P, Pb, Sc, Sm, Sn, Sr, Th, Ti, V, Y, Zn, Hg | atomic absorption (AAS) | |
| Loss on ignition (LOI) | ||
| U | paper chromatography | |
| pH | ion selective electrode (ISE) |
The data are published in Open File MB 86-50, Department of Energy and Resources, 1986. From the same author, data for gold and arsenic were also published in MB 84-07 et MB 85-22A et B. Additional data are published in MB 87-32.
Data from this survey are part of a compilation of lake sediments from Quebec and Labrador published in GSC Open File 8348 (geochemical atlas).
