Survey Description


A lithogeochemical compilation was carried out for rocks from the Cape Smith Belt, Ungava Peninsula, Quebec.  Data was compiled from university and government sources and covers several years of sample collection, but the start and end dates are unknown.  The geochemical compilation includes 2299 samples of volcanic and related intrusive rocks as well as an unknown number of granitoid rocks.  The data are published in Geological Survey of Canada Open File 5117.
