Abstract

This digital product consists of data from a stream sediment geochemical survey undertaken in the fall of 2016 and summer of 2017 by NR&R staff in the Warwick Mountain project area of the eastern Cobequids Highlands of Nova Scotia. It consists of 764 samples with an approximate 1 km2 sampling grid extent taken over the Byers Brook-Diamond Brook volcanic belt. The dataset consists of sample location information, sample descriptions, lab geochemistry for 761 pXRF samples analyzed for S, K, Ca, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Cd, Sn, Sb, Ba, Ce, Pb, Th and a subset of 289 samples for Mo, Cu, Pb, Zn, Ag, Ni, Co, Mn, Fe, As, U, Au, Th, Sr, Cd, Sb, Bi, V, Ca, P, La, Cr, Mg, Ba, Ti, Al, Na, K, W, Sc, Tl, S, Hg, Se, Te and Ga by Aqua Regia assay.

This survey, along with surficial and bedrock geological mapping and a till survey, was a component of renewed bedrock and mineral deposit research on the epithermal gold potential of the Byers Brook and Diamond Brook formations. This stream sediment geochemistry sampling survey was conducted to establish regional background data on stream sediment composition and geochemistry, and identify prospective areas and suitable sampling media for further geochemical exploration.
