Survey Description


Helicopter and ship supported stream sediment and water sampling was carried out in northern Labrador during the summer of 1986.  Samples were collected at an average density of 1 sample per 13 km 2 throughout the 16 000 km 2 survey area.  Sample site duplicate samples were routinely collected in each analytical block of twenty samples.  The data are published in Geological Survey of Canada Open File 1354 and Newfoundland Department of Mines and Energy Open File LAB 710.

The samples were reanalysed by INAA and are published along with the original data in GSC Open File 2794.

This survey was carried out using National Geochemical Reconnaissance (NGR) protocols.
