Contents

The study of the Mount Pleasant deposit by the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) through its Targeted Geoscience Initiative 4 (TGI-4) Program (2010–2015) was conducted in collaboration with the New Brunswick Department of Energy and Mines (NBDEM). The specific objectives of this research project are (1) to determine indicator minerals signatures that are indicative of intrusion-hosted polymetallic Sn deposits; and (2) to establish practical methods for recovery and identification of indicator minerals from glacial sediments that can be routinely applied when exploring for Sn in glaciated terrain. This open file reports the indicator mineral data for till samples collected around the Mount Pleasant deposit. Sampling was not intended to outline the glacial dispersal train, but to document the indicator minerals that are present within the known geochemical dispersal train at varying distances down-ice.
