Survey Description
The Ontario Geological Survey is establishing a mobile laboratory unit (MLU) to support geochemical mapping in Ontario. To establish gold levels in water collected in and around an Ontario mining camp, water samples were collected from:
1. control lakes north of the Kirkland mining camp (likely to have background levels of Au)
2. stream waters from within the mining camp area but upstream from known gold mines or mine tailings
3. stream waters known to be contaminated by gold from mine tailings
The study is described in Ontario Geological Survey Miscellaneous Paper 160 (Summary of Field Work and Other Activities 1992).
