The Hazelton (NTS 93M) reconnaissance-scale stream sediment and water survey was completed in 1983 and the resulting field and analytical data were released in 1984. A total of 1099 sediment and 1092 water samples were collected from 1037 sample sites.
As part of the RGS Archive Program, 1030 archived sediment pulps were re-analyzed by epi-thermal INAA and this new data along with original survey results were re-published in 1998. |
