RGS Re-Analysis

The GSC conducted stream sediment and water surveys in Yukon between 1976 and 2006. Original data has become outdated due to poor detection levels and limited key metals determined. In an effort to improve the geochemical dataset, the Yukon Geological Survey set about having stream sediment samples from the previous collection programs reanalyzed. Samples recovered from storage have been analyzed for 51 elements by aqua-regia digestion followed by ICPMS.
