Survey Description


In July and August 1996, a high-density lake sediment and water survey was carriedout in the Schreiber-Terrace Bay greenstone belt, northwestern Ontario.  Lake sediment and water samples were collected at 1222 sites for an average density of 1 sample per 2 km 2.

The data are published in Ontario Geological Survey Open File Report OFR5964 and Miscellaneous Release-Data, MRD033.

As part of Operation Treasure Hunt, the samples were reanalyzed for Au and PGEs.  The data are published in Ontario Geological Survey OFR6036 and MRD065.

The data are also part of a compilation database, Lake Geochemistry of Ontario – 2019.

The geographic extent of the survey is defined by the following polygons:

  • Covers NTS 42D/14 (Schreiber), 42D/15 (Coldwell) and parts of 42D/13 (Rossport), 42E/2 (Killala Lake), 42E/3 (Dickison Lake) and 42E/6 (Wintering Lake) in the Schreiber-Terrace Bay area, northwestern Ontario.  It is bounded to the south by Lake Superior and to the east by 86.5°W longitude.  The Trans-Canada Highway runs through the southern part of the study area.  The northern part of the study area is located approximately 63 km southeast of the southern shore of Lake Nipigon.
