Survey Description
In the summer of 2006, till and bedrock samples were collected around the Broken Hammer Cu-Ni-PGE occurrence in Wisner Township, 30 km north of Sudbury. Ontario. A total of 15 bedrock samples were collected for recovery of indicator minerals to document the indicator mineral signatures of the host rocks and mineralization for comparisons with mineralogy and geochemistry of till. A total of 38 till samples were collected for indicator mineral analysis. Sites included sections, trenches, clearings and road cuts.
The data are published in Geological Survey of Canada Open Files 7388 and 7602.
