Till New Brunswick 1990

Till sampling survey, NTS 21G/12, 13 southwest New Brunswick, 1990.  


New Brunswick Department of Natural Resources

Survey Description

Till samples were collected in 1990 at 77 sites in the Forest City area, southwest New Brunswick. 7 sites were sampled just above the northern boundary of the Forest City map area in the Fosterville map area (21G/13) to provide complete coverage of the northern part of the study area. The data are published in New Brunswick Department of Resources and Energy Open File Report 92-6. Data for the Fosterville samples were re-released with data for new samples also collected in the Fosterville area and published in New Brunswick Department of Natural Resources and Energy Open File Report 93-7.

Data Description: Paper report.

Quantities Analysed: <0.063 mm fraction by AAS after hot HNO3 digestion for Ag, Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn; by AAS following HCl for Ag, Bi, and Cd; by CV-AAS after HNO3-HCl-SnCl2 extraction for Hg; by INAA for 34 elements.

Geochem Plots Available: Contour maps showing dispersal of selected elements.

Other Analyses: Grain-size (<2 mm); pebble lithologies.

Project History

1990-1996 Southern Pokiok Batholith Quaternary geology and till geochemistry project, southwest New Brunswick, 1990-1996.
  This project was begun in 1990 to study the Quaternary geology and till geochemistry of the area overlying and adjacent to the southern Pokiok Batholith. This area comprises the McAdam, Forest City, Fosterville and Canterbury map areas. The 3 major reasons for conducting this project are: to determine the direction of till transport in the area to aid mineral exploration; to add o the till geochemistry database for New Brunswick and complement bedrock mapping and stream sediment geochemistry programs conducted in the area; and to collect basic Quaternary data on the area within the Forest Planning Zone of the St. Croix International Waterway Commission. The data are published in New Brunswick Department of Resources and Energy Open File Reports 92-5 (Canterbury), 92-6 (Forest City), 93-7 (Fosterville), 95-5 (McAdam), Map Plates 96-2A, 96-2B, 96-2C (Canterbury) and Open File 2002-8 (McAdam).
