Previous OF publication(s):  1213
Province / Territory:  Saskatchewan
Funding Source:  Federal and Provincial
Year of Collection:  1985

Survey Type:  Regional Lake Survey
# Lake sites:  1152

Survey Area:  17100 km²
NTS Sheet(s):  73O,73P,74A,74B,74C

The regional lake sediment and water survey for northern Saskatchewan (parts of NTS 73O,73P,74A,74B,74C ) was conducted during the summer of 1985.

This report presents new analytical and statistical data for gold and 25 other elements obtained by reanalyzing lake sediments from 1,152 sites, collected at an average density of one sample per 14.8 km². Original analytical data selected from Open File 1213 (published 1986) for 16 variables in sediments, and uranium, fluoride, and pH values in lake waters are also included in this report.
