Survey Description
In 1982, a base till and clay sampling survey was conducted by the firm Exploration Aiguebelle Inc., in the Palmarolle area, Quebec. The area covers 12 km2. A total of 99 samples were collected at an average density of 1 sample per 0.1 km2. On each of the 33 drilling sites, one base till sample was collected (screened to separate the fine fraction (<80 mesh) and the heavy mineral fraction (>35 mesh)) and one glaciolacustrine clay sample.
The heavy mineral fraction was analyzed using a binocular microscope for visual identification and 1 gram of this material was crushed and analyzed.
All samples were analyzed for:
