Survey Description

Humus and till samples were collected in 1994 at 43 sites centred on the Cal Graphite Mine site in Butt Township, Ontario. The data are published in Ontario Geological Survey Open File Report 5947.

Data Description: Paper report.

Quantities Analysed: <0.063 mm and <0.002 mm fractions of till by ICP-OES after aqua regia digestion for 29 elements; by hydride generation AAS (aqua regia digestion) for As; by AAS (HCl-KClO3 digestion) for Sb and Bi; by cold vapour flameless AAS (HNO3-HCl digestion) for Hg; LOI.

Geochem Plots Available: Proportional symbol maps showing distribution of Ca, Cu, Cr, Hg, Ni, Pb and Zn in till.

Project History

1994-1996 Central Ontario soils and till sampling survey, 1994.
  A soil and till sampling survey was carried out in 1994 around the Cal Graphite Mine site, Butt Township, Ontario. The objectives of the project were: 1) to determine the natural background geochemical conditions in the area; 2) to obtain geochemical data over an undeveloped graphite deposit; and3) to determine the geochemical impact of an existing graphite mining operation. The data are published in Ontario Geological Survey Open File Report 5947.
