Survey Description


During the summer of 1986, helicopter-supported lake sediment and water sampling was carried out in north central Saskatchewan.  Samples were collected at an average density of 1 sample per 13 km 2 throughout the 17,000 km 2 survey area.  Sample site duplicate samples were routinely collected in each analytical block of twenty samples.  The data are published in Geological Survey of Canada Open File 1359.

In 2021 the samples were reanalyzed by ICP-MS (65 elements) and INAA (35 elements). The data are published in GSC OF 8837.

This survey was carried out using National Geochemical Reconnaissance (NGR) protocols.
