The regional lake sediment and water survey for northern Saskatchewan (parts of NTS 73O,73P,74A,74B,74C ) was conducted during the summer of 1985.

This report presents new analytical and statistical data for gold and 25 other elements obtained by reanalyzing lake sediments from 1,152 sites, collected at an average density of one sample per 14.8 km². Original analytical data selected from Open File 1213 (published 1986) for 16 variables in sediments, and uranium, fluoride, and pH values in lake waters are also included in this report.
