Survey Description
In the summers of 2011 and 2012, lake sediment and water samples were collected in the Greenstone area between Longlac and Lake Nipigon, northwestern Ontario.
Lake sediments (deep and shallow) and/or lake water samples were collected at 2229 sites over an area of 6170 km2 for an average density of i sample site per 2.7 km2.
The data are published in Ontario Geological Survey (OGS) Miscellaneous Release Data, MRD358.
The data are also part of a compilation database, Lake Geochemistry of Ontario – 2019.
