The regional lake survey for northwestern Manitoba (NTS 64B) was conducted during the summer of 1984.
This report is an update of Open File 1103 and contains new data for fluorine, gold and antimony in lake sediments and conductivity, HCO3, Ca, Mg and Fe in lake waters. Original analytical data for 14 elements plus loss-on-ignition in sediments and uranium, fluoride and pH values in concomitant waters are also included in this report.
