| Element | Dissolution | Technique |
| Cu, Pb, Zn, Mo |
HNO3 |
visual colorimetry |
| U |
HNO3 |
visual colorimetry |
| Ni, Co | pyrosulfate fusion | visual colorimetry |
| Mn, Ag | aqua-regia | atomic absorption (AAS) |
The data are published in geological report RG-162, Department of Natural Resources, 1975. This report is the second of a series of 3 publications following a geological reconnaissance program in the Grenville Province, known as the "Grenville Project".
