Very Fine Stream Sediment Sampling for Gold

Very Fine Stream Sediment Sampling for Gold In theory, very fine sediment sampling (<53 microns) has the potential to improve the usefulness of stream sediment data for gold. The key theoretical advantages over traditional techniques are less local sample site variation, improved reproducibility, and the potential to preferentially define anomalies associated with significant bedrock mineralization. An orientation survey is required to test the actual effectiveness of these techniques and to establish practical sampling and processing procedures. 2024-07-30 Government of Yukon geology@gov.yk.ca Science and TechnologyYukon Geological SurveyYukon Data ReportHTML https://data.geology.gov.yk.ca/reference/42867 Original metadata (https://open.yukon.ca)HTML https://open.yukon.ca/data/datasets/very-fine-stream-sediment-sampling-gold
