Survey Description
During the field seasons of 1960 and 1960, approximately 450 soil samples and 15 bedrock samples were collected from 80 separate soil profile locations in the counties of Restigouche, Gloucester and Northumberland in northern New Brunswick. Some profiles were chosen directly above or adjacent to known mineralized areas; others were chosen from areas where there was little or known bedrock mineralization. Samples were taken from the A-, B- and C- horizons.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the amount, distribution and nature of iron, manganese, lead, copper, zinc, arsenic, antimony, silver, tin and cadmium in podzolic soils profiles from the Bathurst area. Six soil profiles were selected for detailed chemical and mineralogical studies.
A detailed description of the study and interpretation of the results can be found in Geological Survey of Canada Bulletin 174.

Paper report.
Quantities Analysed:
-10 mesh ground to -80 mesh size splits of soil samples were analyzed. Total Fe and Mn done by Brannock and Shapiro (1956) method. Total Zn, Cu, Pb, determined at GSC using potassium bisulphate fusion method described by Gilbert (1959). Sb reacted with rhodamine B (Ward and Lakin, 1954); As by modified Gutzeit method (described by Almond, 1953). Sn, Ag, and Cd by emission spectrograph, using a D.C. arc method.

The geographic extent of the survey is defined by the following polygons:
-
Covers parts of NTS 21O/8 (California Lake), 9 (Tetagouche Lakes) and 21P/5 (Nepisiguit Falls), 12 (Bathurst) in northern New Brunswick. It is bounded to the northeast by Nepisiguit Bay. The Nepisiguit River runs east-west through the southern part of the study area and the Brunswick Mines property is located approximately in the centre of the study area.
