Survey Description
873 samples were collected in 1985 from 704 sites in the southern Miramichi Zone and vicinity, New Brunswick. The data are published in GSC Open File 2238. A final report on the Miramichi Zone, including stratigraphy and till geochemistry was published in GSC Bulletin 433.
Nine samples from this survey were reanalyzed and published in New Brunswick Department of Natural Resources and Energy Open File 99-11.
Data Description:
Paper report; data files on diskette.
Quantities Analysed:
<0.002 mm fraction analyzed by different laboratories different years: (1) by AAS after HCl:HNO3 (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; and, (2) ICP-AFS after HCl:HNO3 (1:3) for 11 elements; by specific ion electrode for F; by flameless-AAS for Hg; by fluorometric method for U; by colorimetric method for W. <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 showing dispersal of Cu, Pb, Zn, Sn, W, As, U, Hg in the <0.002 mm fraction and As, Sb, and Au in the <0.063 mm fraction.
