Survey Description
In the summer of 1997, a major lake survey was carried out north of 55°N by SIAL Geosciences Inc as mandated by Quebec’s Ministère des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune. More than 26,000 samples were collected at a density of 1 sample per 12 km2 over a surface area covering ~350,000 km2. This survey marked the first phase of the Far North Program and was realized through a partnership agreement with 5 mineral exploration companies (Cambior, Falconbridge, Noranda, Soquem and Virginia Gold Mines).
The data are published in Quebec Ministry of Natural Resources and Wildlife (Ministère du Ressources naturelles et de la Faune du Québec) DP 98-01.
Data from this survey is part of a compilation published in GSC Open File 8348 (geochemical atlas).
