In July 2003, a high-density lake sediment and water survey was carried out in the central Swayze area (Chapleau map area), northeastern Ontario.

A total of 1398 lake sites were sampled over a 4390 km² area representing a sampling density of 1 sample per 3 km².

The data are published in Ontario Geological Survey Open File Report OFR6173 and Miscellaneous Release-Data, MRD188.

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