Survey Description
Till samples were collected in northern Labrador and Quebec between 1982 and 1987. The data are published in the following Geological Survey of Canada Open Files:
| NTS | Area in Labrador | No. of Samples | GSC Open File |
| 13N | Flowers River | 600 | 1282 |
| 13J | Rigolet | 100 | 1318 |
| 13K | Snegamook Lake | 550 | 1319 |
| 13L | Kasheshibaw Lake | 314 | 1320 |
| 23I, J, O, P | Dyke Lake (also QC) | 1901 |
Open File 2170, published in 1990 is a compilation of data (new and previously published) from these areas as well as data not previously published.
The silt and clay-sized fraction of archived till samples were subjected to a second round of geochemical analysis by ICP-AES and INAA. These new data are published in GSC Open File 3213.
Data Description:
Paper report and maps; data on diskette.
Quantities Analysed:
<0.002 mm fraction for Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, Cr, Mo, Co, Cd, and Fe by AAS following hot aqua-regia (Lefort) digestion; for U by delayed neutron activation analysis; <0.002 mm fraction from detailed studies for Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, Cr, Mo, Mn and Fe by ICP-AAS methods; As determined in selected samples by ICP-AAS methods. <0.063 mm fraction of selected samples for Y, Nb, Zr, Th, Rb, Sr, Sn, Ce by XRF (740 samples); for Be by AAS (400 samples); for Au, Pt, Pd, by FA-ICP-
AFS methods (850 samples; Chemex); for Au by FA-AAS and INA (1000 samples; Bondar-Clegg).
Geochem Maps Available:
Proportional dot maps showing dispersal for selected elements (with topographic overlay).
Other Analyses:
HMC examined for particulate gold.
