Survey Description
An orientation survey was conducted in the auriferous lower segment of the Assemetquagan River, southwest Gaspésie, Quebec. Stream sediment samples were collected at 57 sites sometime before 1986. All sample sites were located above the low water line but are submerged each spring. Two types of samples were collected at each site: a heavy mineral concentrate obtained from approximately 3 L of -4 mm sediment; and a bag of the same material unprocessed. The data are published in Geological Survey of Canada Current Research, Paper 86-1B.
Sampling Procedure
The heavy mineral concentrates were obtained by panning on site to bring the weight of the sediment sample down to about 500 g.
