Survey Description
In autumn 2007, lake bottom sediments were collected in the Sept-Rivières regional county municipality (Sept-Îles region), Quebec. In total, 1657 samples were collected by Geo Data Solutions GDS Inc. over an area of 21,500 km2 with a sampling density of approximately 1 sample per 13 km2.
The samples were analysed by ICP-MS for 53 elements after an aqua regia digestion at Acme Labs Vancouver. A subset of samples from the Fermont area collected in 1987 and from the Havre-Saint-Pierre area colleted in 1988 were reanalysed using the same method as the samples collected in 2007.
