Project History

1990-1993 North central New Brunswick till sampling survey carried out in 1990-1991.
  The project involved completing regional Quaternary geological studies, specifically mapping of Quaternary sediments and obtaining detailed information on till provenance and geochemistry. It was aimed at stimulating mineral exploration by providing new or updated geological information. In addition to new till data for the area, re-analyses of archived samples from M. Lamothe’s survey (Open File 2237) were carried out. The data are published in GSC Open Files 2246 and 2560.
