Survey Description
During the summers of 2011 and 2012, samples of till, bedrock and stream sediment and water were collected around the Sisson W-Mo deposit in west-central New Brunswick. Three types of stream samples were collected: 9-14 kg of sediment for indicator mineral processing, 200 g of silt/fine sand for geochemistry and 60 ml of water. The following open files were published:
| Sampling Year | Sample Type | Number of Samples | Publication and Data |
| 2011 | bedrock | 11 |
OF 7387 indicator mineral abundance data OF 7431 – indicator mineral signatures of Sisson for bedrock |
| 2012 | bedrock | 1 | |
| 2011 | till | 56 |
OF 7387 – indicator mineral abundance data OF 7430 – geochemistry OF 7467 – indicator mineral signatures of Sisson for till |
| 2012 | till | 1 | |
| 2012 | stream sediment and water | 17 |
OF 7387 – indicator mineral abundance data OF7756 – geochemistry of stream sediment and water |

The geographic extent of the survey is defined by the following polygons:
-
Covers parts of NTS 21J/06 (Coldstream) and 21J/07 (Napadogan) in west-central New Brunswick. The study area is located approximately 35 km east of the Saint John River and 8 km southwest of the unincorporated area of Napadogan.
-
Covers parts of NTS 21J/06 (Coldstream; 1 sample), 21J/10 (Hayesville; 1 sample) and 21J/11 (Juniper; no sample in this map sheet) in west-central New Brunswick. It is located approximately 4 km northwest of the north shore of Miramichi Lake. The unincorporated area of Half Moon Pit lies just south of the study area.
