Survey Description


In 1983, a lake sediment sampling survey was conducted in the Baie Johan-Beetz area, Quebec.  The area covers 9000 km2.  A total of 3375 samples were collected at an average density of 1 sample per 2.6 km2.  Water samples were also collected from visited lakes and analyzed for pH and F (selective electrode).  Lake sediment samples were analyzed for Ag, Al, B, Ba, Be, Ca, Cd, Ce, Co, Cr, Cu, Eu, Fe, K, La, Li, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Ni, P, Pb, Sc, Sm, Sn, Sr, Th, Ti, V, Y, Zn (ICP-ES), U (fluorimetry), Hg (flameless atomic absorption), As et Sn (atomic absorption) and loss on ignition.

The data are published in Open File DP 85-18, Department of Energy and Resources, 1986.

In 2008, samples were reanalysed by ICP-MS and the work is summarized in Ministère des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune PRO 2009-02.
