Survey Description
Over 1700 till samples were collected in 1985-1987 in the central Miramichi Zone and vicinity in New Brunswick. The data are published in GSC Open File 2237. A final report on the Miramichi Zone, including stratigraphy and till geochemistry was published in GSC Bulletin 433. 89 samples from NTS 21O/2 were reanalyzed by XRF and published in GSC Open File 2246. 161 samples from NTS 21O/1 were reanalyzed by XRF and published in GSC Open File 2560.
Approximately 50 samples were used in a heavy mineral study published in New Brunswick Department of Natural Resources Open File Reports 91-11 and 92-7.
Data Description:
Paper report; digital data.
Quantities Analysed:
<0.002 mm fraction by AAS after HCl:HNO 3 (1:3) for 10 elements; by colorimetric method for As; by specific ion electrode for F; by colorimetric methods for As and W; by fluorometric method for U; and by XRF for Sn. <0.063 mm fraction by INAA for 11 elements; by CV-AAS for Hg; by AAS for As and Sb; and by fire assay-INAA for Au
Geochem Maps Available:
Proportional symbol maps show the distribution of selected elements.
The data have also been published as part of a compilation for NTS 21O, 21N and 22B in New Brunswick Department of Natural Resources and Energy Development Open File OF 2021-2.
