The regional lake survey for southern Labrador (NTS 13D) was conducted during the summer of 1983.

This report presents analytical and statistical data for gold and 25 other elements obtained by re-analyzing lake sediments from 982 sites, collected at an average density of one sample per 14.2 km². Original analytical data selected from Open File 996 (published 1984) for 15 elements plus loss-on-ignition in sediments, and uranium, fluoride, and pH values in concomitant waters are also included in this report.
