Abstract
This open file reports geochemical data for till samples collected in 2015 and 2016 as part of a reconnaissance-scale till sampling and surficial mapping project across the southern Core Zone, Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador (NTS map sheets 23-I and 23-P). Additional geochemical analyses (Au, Pt, Pd) of till samples collected in 2014 are also reported here. Data reported also include re-analysis of select archived till samples collected by the Geological Survey of Canada as part of the Canada - Newfoundland Mineral Development Agreement (1984-1989) in the southern Core Zone. Data reported in this open file include geochemical analyses of the <0.063 mm fraction using aqua regia (partial), borate fusion (total), and fire assay (total Au, Pt, Pd), as well munsell colour, grain-size data, loss on ignition, and total carbon analyses.
