During our field visit April 30 - May 3, water samples were collected from seven thermal seepage sites, including the main spring at Sloquet. One new major thermal seepage site (TS5) was observed and appeared to be discharging from conglomerate bedrock along the bank of Sloquet Creek. Water discharging appeared to have significantly higher flow rates than the main spring at Sloquet with a temperature of 68 °C. In comparison to other small seepage sites observed, TS5 was the most significant spring observed (in terms of flow and temperature) and should likely have a temperature button installed to collect data through time. The terrain is very steep and slippery which will make it difficult to install equipment, careful consideration will be needed. Other seepage sites appeared minor in comparison and may not require long-term monitoring which will be discussed further with our team.
