Previous OF publication(s):  
Province / Territory:  Northwest Territories
Funding Source:  Federal (Parks Canada, DIAND, GSC)
Year of Collection:  1996

Survey Type:  Regional Stream Survey
# Lake sites:  0
# Stream sites:  423
Survey Area:  4560 km²
NTS Sheet(s):  068G, 068H, 069A, 069B

The regional stream survey for Baturst Island (NTS 68G, 68H, 69A and 69B) was conducted during the summer of 1996.

This report presents analytical and statistical data for 39 elements in stream sediments from 423 sample sites. Bulk stream sediments (46) were sampled in 15 areas found to be anamalous in the 1995 survey and a portion of these samples were processed and analyzed along with the silt samples. Heavy Mineral Concentrates were also obtained from the bulk samples by panning and were analyzed for 33 elements. Loss-on-ignition in sediments, and uranium, fluoride, and pH values in waters from these sites are included in this report.
