Survey Description


Stream sediment and water samples were collected at 623 sites in southwestern Yukon during the summer of 1993.  Sample sites were distributed over the 7,825 km2 survey area at an average of one sample per 12.6 km2.  Sample site duplicate samples were collected in each analytical block of twenty samples.  The data are published in GSC Open File 2859.

This survey was carried out using National Geochemical Reconnaissance (NGR) protocols.
