Survey Description
During the summer of 1976, a heavy mineral regional sampling survey was conducted by SDBJ, in the James Bay region. The area covers about 44000 km2 and 1192 samples, each 1 cubic foot in volume, were taken from tills, beach sands, alluvial gravels and eskers in the area. The samples were analyzed for Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, Mo (HCl and HNO3, atomic absorption) and U by fluorescence. Samples were collected at an average density of 1 sample per 40 km2.
The data are published in file GM-34167, Department of Natural Resources, 1977.
