Survey Description
During the summer of 1978, helicopter-supported lake sediment and water sampling was carried out in central Labrador. The samples were collected at an average density of 1 sample per 13 km2. Sample site and grid cell duplicate samples were routinely collected in each analytical block of twenty samples. The data were published in GSC Open File 559 in 1979. The samples were reanalysed for Hg in 1982, and the data were published in GSC Open File 1209. In 1992, the samples were reanalysed by INAA and republished in GSC Open File 2690.
Data from this survey is part of a compilation published in GSC Open File 8348 (geochemical atlas).
This survey was carried out using National Geochemical Reconnaissance (NGR) protocols.
