Survey Description
During the summers of 1988, 1989 and 1990 stream sediment samples (n=5327) were collected in the northern part of the Gaspé Peninsula by Noranda Exploration in a joint project with Ministère des Ressources naturelles. Alluvial heavy minerals were concentrated from the stream sediments in the field by panning.
The following areas were sampled:

* the results of geostatistical processing as well as anomaly maps are available in the reports
A subset of the data (n=4436) is published in MRN MB 94-59 as a series of maps.
A subset of the samples (n=4648) is part of SIGÉOM compilation 1992020.

The geographic extent of the survey is defined by the following polygons:
-
Covers most of NTS 22B (Matane) and all of the land portions of 22G/01 (Ste-Anne-des-Monts) and 22G/02 (Cap-Chat) on the Gaspé Peninsula, Quebec. It is bounded to the north by the Saint Lawrence River and extends south to8 km north of the Quebec-New Brunswick border. The eastern edge of the study area is approximately 34 km west of the town of Murdochville. The majority of the study area lies east of 67.25° N longitude.
