Overburden drilling and till geochemistry survey, 3 areas in northern and western New Brunswick, 1986-1987.  


Geological Survey of Canada, Terrain Sciences Division

Survey Description

Till samples were collected from boreholes drilled in three areas: Bathurst, Grand Falls-Edmunston and Woodstock-Fredericton (St. John Valley) in New Brunswick in 1986 and 1987. The data are published in GSC Open File 2149.

Data Description: Paper report; data lists on diskette (ASCII and PICT (MACDRAW) included).

Quantities Analysed: <0.002 mm fraction by AAS for 10 elements; by colorimetric methods for As and W; by specific ion electrode for F; by XRF for Sn; by fluorometric method for U; <0.063 mm fraction by INAA for 14 elements and by CV-AAS for Hg.

Geochem Plots Available: <0.002 mm fraction by AAS for 10 elements, by colourimetric method for As and W, by specific ion for F, by XRF for Sn, by fluorometric method for U; <0.063 mm fraction by INAA for 14 elements and by CV-AAS for Hg.

Project History

1986-1990 Northern and western New Brunswick overburden drilling and till geochemistry project, 1986-1987.
  A deep overburden drill project was conducted in the winter of 1986-87 in the St. John Valley, between Edmunston and Fredericton and in the vicinity of Bathurst. The objectives of the study were to document the buried lithostratigraphic and chemostratigraphic successions over two major areas of western New Brunswick. The data are published in GSC Open File 2149.
