Survey Description


In July 1986, humus samples were collected near Lac des Iles, northwestern Ontario.  Samples were collected at ~10 m intervals along a line that crosses the northern part of the mineralized (PGE) Roby Zone, approximately 1 km south of the lake.

The data and a detailed description of the study are published on Ontario Geological Survey Map M80800.
