Survey Description
Approximately 400 till samples were collected between 1996 and 1999 in the Nechako River map area, central British Columbia. The data from the 1996 and 1997 field seasons are published in Geological Survey of Canada Open File 3687.
These data can also be found as part of a compilation in GSC Open File 2270 which also publishes data for samples collected in 1998 and 1999 in NTS 93K (n=6) and 93N (n=17).
Data Description:
Paper maps with side notes; data on diskette.
Quantities Analysed:
<0.063 mm fraction by INAA for 35 elements; by ICP-ES after aqua regia digestion for 32 elements; <0.002 mm fraction by ICP-ES after aqua regia digestion for 32 elements and by CV-AAS for Hg.
Geochem Maps Available:
Proportional dot maps showing dispersal of 12 metals.
