Summary

This Open File release contains data on 211 samples from the St. Lawrence area, Burin Peninsula (NTS Map areas 01L/13, 14 and 01M/03). The database includes whole-rock geochemical analyses, rock-slab photos, BSE images, X-ray maps, modal mineralogy of four samples, Pb isotope data from whole rocks and glaena, and trace- and rare-earth element (TE-REE) data on fluorite. The purpose of this study was to investigate the newly discovered AGS fluorite deposit and associated rocks. Additional publications will be released, as they become available, summarizing the results of this and related studies.
