Survey Description
During the summer of 1985, a stream sediment sampling survey was conducted by the Compagnie nationale de forage et de sondage along the Rivière Assémetquagan. A total of 71 collected sites were located on the riverbanks at approximately 1 km between each location. In addition, samples were collected on 56 sites of the river tributaries, at 30 m of their mouth. On each site, 2 samples were collected.
Stream sediments were screened at -177 microns and analyzed for:
| Element | Dissolution | Technique |
| Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, Co, Mn, Ag, Fe, Mo | atomic absorption | |
| Loss on ignition (LOI) | ||
| Au, As, W, U | neutron activation |
Heavy minerals (density>2.85 g/cc) were analyzed for:
| Element | Dissolution | Technique |
| Au, As, W, Sb, Co, U | neutron activation |
The data are published in Open File MB 86-22, Department of Energy and Resources, 1986.
