Survey Description


In 2008, a 96 m borehole was drilled by All Terrain Drilling Limited near Kinburn, Ontario.  Seventy-nine sediment samples were collected for grain size analysis.  Subsamples representing both 2 cm and 4 cm sediment thickness were analyzed using two portable XRF spectrometers.  The 4 cm sample was subsequently analysed by ICP-ES by Acme Laboratories.

The data are published in Geological Survey of Canda Open File 7085.
