Survey Description


In July 1995, a high-density lake sediment survey was carried out in the Wawang Lake-English River area, northwestern Ontario.  Samples were collected at 450 sites.

The data are published in Ontario Geological Survey Open File Report OFR5940 and Miscellaneous Release Data, MRD026.

In 1998 and 2000, the samples were reanalysed and published in OFR6076 and MRD098.  The report also publishes data for additional samples collected in 1993 from the area and in-fill samples collected in 1997.

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