Department of Natural Resources, Newfoundland and Labrador, Mines and Energy Branch, Geological Survey

Survey Description

Nearly 400 samples (mostly till) were collected in 1994 in the Robert’s Arm, Little Bay Island and Springdale map areas in northern Newfoundland. The data are published in Newfoundland Department of Natural Resources Open File Nfld/2513. These samples are also included in element distribution maps published in Open File Nfld/2596.

Data Description: Paper report and lists; digital report, database, and maps on diskette NFLD/2513/1.

Quantities Analysed: <0.063 mm fraction after HF-HClO4-HCl by ICP-AES for 29 elements and by AAS for 4 elements; by INAA for 39 elements; by AAS after hot HNO3 digestion for Ag.

Geochem Plots Available: Includes Maps 95-07 to 95-14 showing dispersal of selected elements.

Project History

1994-1995 Northern Newfoundland till sampling survey carried out in 1994.
  Quaternary mapping and regional geochemical sampling of surficial sediments in northern Newfoundland were undertaken in 1994 as part of a larger multi-disciplinary project to investigate possible mineralization in the area. The data are published in Newfoundland Department of Mines and Energy Open File Nfld/2513.

1995-1996 Northern Newfoundland till sampling survey and compilation project carried out in 1995.
  Till samples were collected in the Buchans-Robert’s Arm Belt in northern Newfoundland in 1995. It was part of a project which also involved compilation of existing information. Geochemical data previously published in Newfoundland Department of Natural Resources Open File Nfld/2513 and Geological Survey of Canada Open File 2823 were compiled with the new 1995 data and published in Open File Nfld/2596. In addition, 36 samples from GSC Open File 2823 were reanalyzed for comparison of analytical procedures.
