Harper's field crew area during his bedrock mapping project in the Wellbelove Bay- Rabbabou Bay , Wollaston Lake area. During the 2006 and 2007 field seasons, 436 till samples (including field duplicates) were collected and analysed during the Quaternary mapping component of the Northeast Wolloston Lake Project. Samples were by J.S. Smith with assistance from the bedrock mapping crew in 2006 and J.S. Smith and A. Kaczowka in 2007.
		DF 24: Industry Drillcore Data – Regina Subsurface Core Facility Athabasca Basin (NTS 64L, 74F to 74K, and 74N to 74P) Industry Drillcore Data – Regina Subsurface Core Facility – Uravan Minerals Inc. Athabasca Basin (NTS 64L, 74F to 74K, and 74N to 74P) 2010
		DF 29: Geochemical Analyses of Athabasca Group Outcrops in Saskatchewan NTS 64L, 74F to 74K, and 74N to 74P An exhaustive mapping and sampling program of the Athabasca Group was undertaken between 1975 and 1981 by the Saskatchewan Geological Survey (SGS), the results of which are contained in Ramaekers (1990). These samples are now stored at the Saskatchewan Ministry of Energy and Resources, Subsurface Geological Laboratory in Regina, Saskatchewan. A selection of these samples was chosen to help characterise the background geochemical signature of the Athabasca Group and to identify anomalous regions. A total of 642 samples were chosen, of which 181 were whole-rock samples and 461 were crushed-rock samples from a previous study. Four locations have two samples indicating that multiple samples were collected at specific sites. All samples in this data set were processed at the Geoanalytical Laboratories at the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC) in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, an ISO/IEC 17025:2005 certified facility (i.e., meets the General Requirements for the Competence of Mineral Testing and Calibration Laboratories). Samples were crushed, split, agate ground, and then run with Sandstone Exploration Package ICPMS 1. The package produces three separate analysis types: inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICP MS) partial digestion for trace elements; ICP MS total digestion for trace elements; and ICP–Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP–OES) total digestion for major and minor elements. Details and detection limits are available on the SRC’s website. The data are presented in a single Microsoft® Excel spreadsheet. The samples were submitted in two separate batches. The first returned 699 analyses, 20 of which were lab repeats and 37 of which were standards. The SRC uses two standards, ASR-109 and ASR-209, descriptions of which are available on its webpage. An additional run of 21 blind repeats selected from the returned sample pulps was submitted separately and returned 24 analyses of which one was a lab repeat and two were standards. These data are included at the bottom of the of the spreadsheet. Location data is in Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM), North American Datum 83 (NAD 83), extended zone 13. Location data were hand keyed from the original sample sheets and converted from NAD 27, and in some cases zone 12, to the current format. Original location data were recorded to the nearest 100 metres for both easting and northing for samples collected from 1975 to 1979 and to the nearest 50 metres in 1980 and 1981. Sample location data were rechecked prior to publication and best efforts have been made to correct the data to within 100 metres in each direction; however, the Ministry of Energy Resources does not accept liability for any inaccuracies in location information. Samples have been matched to the Athabasca Group stratigraphic units based on Slimmon and Pana (2010). In addition, brief descriptions are provided for some of the samples. These descriptions are based on either the original field notes or are comments made by the lead author. This data file report also consists of two PDF files: one being the supplementary maps sheet; the second being some initial observations made by SGS geologists on the spatial and lithostratigraphic associations of select elements contained in the report’s data.
		DF 30: Geochemical Analyses of Athabasca Group Outcrops in Saskatchewan (NTS 64L, 74F to 74K, and 74N to 74P) – Supplementary to Data File Report 29 A supplementary set of 195 samples from Athabasca Group outcrop was submitted to complement Data File Report 29 (DF29) released in 2011 (Card et al., 2011). DF30 samples were processed at the Geoanalytical Laboratories at the Saskatchewan Research Council in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. They were crushed, split, agate ground, and then run with Sandstone Exploration Package ICPMS 1. The package produces three separate analysis types: inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICP–MS) partial digestion for trace elements; ICP–MS total digestion for trace elements; and ICP–Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP–OES) total digestion for major and minor elements. An additional 12 blind repeats were included in the sample run. The dataset also contains six lab repeats and 12 lab standards. In addition to the analyses, location data and sample descriptions are included in this release (Microsoft® Excel format). The previously released DF29 contains samples from across the Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan; however, several of the formations of the Athabasca Group are underrepresented. This release (DF30) contains samples from specific lithostratigraphic units with the goal of obtaining a statistically meaningful number (greater than 50 with a goal of 100) of samples/unit between the two releases. The units targeted were Manitou Falls Formation Bird, Raibl, Warnes and Collins members, Lazenby Lake, Wolverine Point, Locker Lake and Otherside formations. Of these, only Wolverine Point Formation contains less than 50 (31) samples between DF29 and this release. In order to assemble a statistically meaningful set of samples for Wolverine Point Formation, drill core sampling will be necessary. Samples from formations such as Fair Point, Read, Smart, Douglas, and Carswell are underrepresented in both outcrop and drill core making the assembly of robust datasets unlikely.
