Survey Description
During the summer of 1983, a lake sediment sampling survey was conducted by Ovaltex Inc. in the Rivière à la Baleine area, Quebec. The area covers 41,600 km2. A total of 3004 samples were collected by helicopter, at an average density of 1 sample per 12 km2. When possible, samples were collected on lakes with a surface area of approximately 1 km2.
Samples were analyzed for:
| Element | Dissolution | Technique |
| Ag, Al, B, Ba, Be, Ca, Cd, Ce, Co, Cr, Cu, Eu, Fe, K, La, Li, Mg, Mn, Mo, Ni, P, Pb, Sc, Sm, Sr, Th, Ti, V, Y, Zn | inductively coupled plasma emission (ICP-ES) | |
| U | fluorimetry | |
| Loss on ignition (LOI) |
The data are published in Open File DP 84-43, Department of Energy and Resources, 1984. In 1987, additional data (As, Ba, Ce, F, Hg, Ti and pH) were published in Open File DP 86-22.
Data from this surveyare part of a compilation of lake sediments from Quebec and Labrador published in GSC Open File 8348 (geochemical atlas).

The geographic extent of the survey is defined by the following polygons:
-
Covers NTS 14E/4 (Lac Navières), /5 (Lac Pilliamet), /12 (Lac Courdon), most of 24G (Lac Saffray), most of 24H (Lac Henrietta) and 24B (Lac Jeannin), the west half of 24A (Lac Brisson), the west half of 23P (Lac Resolution), 23I/13 (Marion Lake), /14 (Lac Potel), the east part of 23O (Lac Wakuach). The Rivière à la Baleine area is located in the Nord-du-Québec region. Its eastern limit is bordered by the Labrador frontier. It is bounded by latitudes 54°40'N and 57°40'N and longitudes 63°40' and 68°.
