Survey Description

Peat and B-horizon soil samples were collected in 1978 and 1979 over a uranium occurrence in central Labrador. The samples were collected from the G-1 Grid located approximately 100 km northeast of Goose Bay. The data are published in Newfoundland Department of Mines and Energy Open File LAB 457.

Data Description: Paper report and maps.

Quantities Analysed: <0.177 mm fraction by delayed neutron activation for U; by AAS for 9 elements; by specific ion electrode for F.

Geochem Plots Available: Contoured plots show distribution of elements analysed.

Other Analyses: LOI.

Project History

1978-1979 Central Labrador peat and soil sampling survey carried out in 1978 and 1979.
  Peat and B-horizon soils were collected in 1978 and 1979 over a uranium occurrence about 100 km northeast of Goose Bay in central Labrador. The study helped evaluate and compare the effectiveness of various exploration methods over similar types of mineralization in comparable physiographic environments. The data are published in Newfoundland Department of Mines and Energy Open File LAB 457.
