Survey Description
Stream water samples were analysed in the field and those with significant amounts of heavy minerals were brought back to the field laboratory. Samples of spring water were collected in the field and analysed in the field laboratory. Samples of soil and glacial material were collected along travers lines at right angles to known or suspected vein faults. Approximately 0.25 kg of soil or glacial material was collected on1.5 m centres along the traverse lines.
Details and results of this survey have been published in GSC Bulletins 32, 26, 29 and 111.
