The regional stream survey for west central Yukon (NTS 115N East and 115O) was conducted during the summer of 1986.
This report presents analytical and statistical data for 20 elements in stream sediments from 1,392 sample sites, collected at an average density of one sample per 12.0 km². Loss-on-ignition in sediments, and uranium, fluoride, and pH values in waters from these sites are included in this report.

The original 'hardcopy' open file was released in 1987 (field and analytical data were available separately on diskette). This open file was superseded in 2001 (with the same GSC open file number) by a digital version on CD-ROM. The digital releases were financed under the Yukon Geology Program which includes the Economic Development Branch of Yukon Government and Exploration and Geological Services Division (EGSD) of the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development.
