Survey Description


In June 1995, a follow-up biogeochemical survey was carried out near the southern end of Shubenacadie Grand Lake in central Nova Scotia to follow up on elevated gold values in samples collected the previous year.  Samples of balsam fir and red spruce were collected from 90 sites along with a few water, rock and till samples.

The work is summarized in Geological Survey of Canada Open File 3221 (p. 23) and the data are included in the files published with the open file.
