The regional lake sediment survey for east-central Saskatchewan (NTS 63M, 64D and parts of 63K, 63L, 63N, 73I, 73O, 73P and 74A) was conducted during the summer of 1974.

This report presents analytical and statistical data for gold and 14 other variables obtained by re-analyzing lake sediments from 3,845 sites, collected at an average density of one sample per 14.3 km². Original analytical data selected from Open File 266 (published 1975) and additional data for mercury and uranium published in 1977 in Open File 488 are also included in this report.
