Survey Description

Approximately 170 samples were collected in the Fosterville area in 1992 in southwest New Brunswick. The data are published in New Brunswick Department of Natural Resources and Energy Open File Report 93-7. The report also includes 14 samples collected in 1990 and previously released in New Brunswick Department of Natural Resources and Energy Open File Report 92-6.

Data Description: Paper report; digital data files.

Quantities Analysed: <0.063 mm fraction by AAS after hot HNO3 digestion for 8 elements; by AAS following HCl-HNO3 for 3 elements; by CV-AAS after HNO3-HCl-SnCl2 extraction for Hg; by INAA for 34 elements.

Geochem Plots Available: Contour maps show the dispersal of selected elements.

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).
