The regional lake sediment and water survey for north-central Saskatchewan (parts of NTS 74C and 74F) was conducted during the summer of 1978.

This report presents new analytical and statistical data for gold and 25 other elements obtained by reanalyzing lake sediments from 909 sites, collected at an average density of one sample per 16.7 km². Original analytical data selected from Open File 556 (published 1979) for 13 variables in sediments, and uranium, fluoride, and pH values in lake waters are also included in this report.
