Geochemical and Visible/Infrared Spectroscopy Data Related to Metallogenic Studies of the Avalon Zone, Newfoundland (NTS Map Areas 1L/13, 1M/03, 07, 16, 1N/07, 2D/01, 08) Newfoundland

This open file release contains whole-rock geochemistry results for 29 samples collected in relation to ongoing studies of precious-metal mineralization within the Avalon Zone in Newfoundland (NTS map areas 1L/13, 1M/03, 07, 16, 1N/07, 2D/01, 08). The database primarily consists of samples collected in the western portion of the Avalon Zone, but also includes a small subset of samples from the eastern portion of the zone, from the area known as the Eastern Avalon High Alumina Belt. The open file also contains Visible/Infrared Spectroscopy (VIRS) data, collected from drillcore, in relation to studies of Neoproterozoic epithermal alteration systems within the Avalon Zone (NTS map areas 1L/13, 1M/16, 1N/07, 2D/01, 08). A review of VIRS and its applications can be found in Kerr et al. (2011) and references therein.
