Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) Open File 2183 / British Columbia Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources (BCMEMPR) Regional Geochemical Survey (RGS) 25 presents analytical and statistical data for 21 elements in moss-mat or stream sediments from 908 sample sites, collected at an average density of one sample per 13.3 km². Loss-on-ignition in sediments, and uranium, fluoride, and pH values in waters from these sites are included in this report.
