Survey Description


291 till samples collected in the Riley Brook area, northwestern New Brunswick in 1989.  Data published in New Brunswick Department of Natural Resources and Energy Geological Notes Series PM 89-71 and map plates MP 89-71B to MP 89-71D.

Data Description:

Paper report and data diskette.

Quantities Analysed:

<0.063 mm fraction: Au by FA-INAA; Ag, As by AAS after HNO 3 aqua regia digestion; Hg by flameless AAS after HNO 3-HCl digestion; Sb by AAS after HCl-KClO 3 digestion; by AAS after HNO 3 digestion for 7 elements; Mo, W by colorimetric methods.

Geochem Maps Available:

Paper plots showing the element concentration as a number at the sample site (i.e. not a graphical representation).

The data have also been published as part of a compilation for NTS 21O, 21N and 22B in NB DNRED Open File OF 2021-2.
