Information Regarding Historical and Current Digital Formats and Software

When this Geological Survey of Canada Open File was first published in 1987, the data set was provided on paper and on diskette in a digital plain text file along with an associated file-extraction program, readme, and printer files. The plain text (ASCII) files are readable with plain-text-compatible software such as Notepad or Wordpad.

WARNING: the data on the diskette may have been packaged as a 16 bit self-extracting executable file, which is incompatible with 64 bit Windows computers.

In this new digital release, the data are in XLSX file format, as provided by NRCan’s Canadian Database of Geochemical Surveys (CDGS). These data files can be downloaded from the CDGS Web site.  Get the most current link to the CDGS data set from the GEOSCAN record at https://doi.org/10.4095/130284. The most current link to direct downloadable files for this Geological Survey of Canada Open File is https://geochem.nrcan.gc.ca/cdogs/content/svy_dat/svy210195_e.dat.htm.

Since they were first published, these data have been modified to correct errors and to conform to the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83).

There are three data files for each sample. The three files contain the same data, but each has a different way of representing values that are less than the lower detection limit (<LDL):
•	values less than LDL given as a negative number 
•	values less than LDL given as half the value
•	values less than LDL given as <LDL, e.g., <0.02, <10
