Till New Brunswick 1986

Till samples from a trenching survey, NTS 21J/10, central New Brunswick, 1986 and 1987.  


Geological Survey of Canada, Terrain Sciences Division

Survey Description

Till samples were collected from more than 250 trenches opened up in the summer of 1986. Twenty-five of those trenches were reopened in the summer of 1987. The data are published in GSC Open File 2217.

Data Description: Paper report.

Quantities Analysed: <0.002 mm fraction analyzed by AAS for 11 elements; by colorimetric method for As and W; by specific ion electrode for F; by iodine fusion for Sn; <0.063 mm fraction by AAS for 8 elements and by INAA for Au.

Geochem Plots Available: Plots show distribution of elements in till along trenches.

Project History

1986-1990 Northern and central New Brunswick trenching survey carried out in 1986-1987.
  A trenching survey was carried out in the area of tin-bearing granites of central New Brunswick. The objectives were to use detailed geochemistry in the vicinity of known mineral occurrences as a database to interpret regional surveys, in terms of geochemical response and dispersal. The till geochemistry data from the trenching survey are published in GSC Open File 2217.
