Survey Description
An orientation survey was carried out in the Mira-Framboise area, Cape Breton Island in 1990 to determine the best sampling medium for the regional till sampling survey to be carried out in 1991. Approximately 130 till samples were collected from 4 sections along the coast and from 25 smaller sections sampled in detail around the Yava, Deep Cove, MacIntyre Lake, Copper Shaft and Blue Mountain base metal occurrences. The data from the 1990 orientation survey and from the 1991 regional survey are published in GSC Open File 2533.
