Survey Description


In the summer of 2000, a lake sediment and water quality survey was carried out in the Sturgeon Lake-Lake St. Joseph area, northwestern Ontario as part of Operation Treasure Hunt.

Lake sediment samples were collected and water quality parameters were measured at 4400 sites.

The data are published in Ontario Geological Survey Open File Report OFR6087 and Miscellaneous Release-Data, MRD104.

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