Survey Description
In 1969, sampling of lakes and streams in the Beaverlodge (Eldorado) region north of Lake Athabasca was carried out. The following samples were collected:
| Site | Number of Samples | Sampling Density | Sample Type | GAS* File |
| Regional stream sites (n=550) | 601 | 1 sample per square mile |
One bag stream sediment Two bottles of stream water (500 ml for trace elements; 250 ml for radon gas, pH and total alkalinity) |
GAS014.DAT |
| Regional lake sites (n=740) | 813 | ~1.3 samples per square mile | Two bottles of lake water | GAS015.DAT |
| Seasonal lake and stream sites (n=4 lake, 4 stream) | 287 | Two bottles of lake water collected three times a week from June 25 – August 20, 1969. | GAS018.DAT | |
| Outcrop | 96 | Composite samples of fresh unweathered rock chips | GAS019.DAT |
* GAS=Geochemical Analysis System
A summary of the work can be found in Geological Survey of Canada Paper 74-32 and CIM Special Volume 11 (1971).
Note: GAS File 016 (detailed lake water samples) and GAS File 017 (nested stream and lake water samples) contain data for samples which are not included in the summary works listed above.

The geographic extent of the survey is defined by the following polygons:
-
Covers part of NTS 74N/9 (Forget Lake) in the Beaverlodge/Eldorado uranium area, northern Saskatchewan. Uranium City and Eldorado are located approximately 19 km and 12 km west respectively of the centre of the study area. Max, Viking and Flack lakes are found within the study area which lies 14 km north of one of the northern shores of Lake Athabasca.
