Project History

1995-2003 Southern New Brunswick till sampling survey carried out in 1995-1996.
  Till sampling was carried out in 1995-1996 in the Sussex area of southern New Brunswick. 71 samples from the area northwest of Belleisle Bay/Creek were sampled and analysed during 1995 and should be treated as a somewhat different geochemical population from the rest of the samples which were analysed later. Gross geochemical trends are not affected by this sampling and analytical artifact, but should be kept in mind when examining the data. The data are published in New Brunswick Department of Natural Resources and Energy Open File 2003-16
