Project Description
Between 1981 and 1985, the Ontario Geological Survey (OGS) carried out several studies that were designed to update the multi-element geological survey methods for mineral resource appraisal or to investigate the geochemical effects of environmental decline in lakes:
| Year | Area | Sample Type | OGS Publication |
| 1981 | Southwestern Ontario | stream sediments |
M80612 M80715 |
| 1983 | Williams property, Helmo area | till and soil (including humus) | M80754 |
