| Abstract | Till and bedrock samples around the Broken Hammer Cu-Ni-PGE occurrence in Wisner Township, 30 km north of Sudbury, Ontario were collected to determine the indicator minerals and their trace element
signatures that are indicative of footwall-type deposits in the Sudbury structure. Additional till and bedrock samples were collected around the Wisner West occurrence (Fig. 1) and one bedrock sample was collected from the McCreedy West PM zone for
comparison with Broken Hammer. This open file reports the raw indicator mineral weight and abundance data for bedrock and till samples collected in 2006 for this case study. Samples were processed by the commercial laboratory Overburden Drilling
Management Limited, Ottawa, using a combination of tabling, panning and heavy liquids to recover potential indicator minerals. Sample locations, weights of various fractions produced during sample processing and indicator mineral grains identified as
well as bedrock sample descriptions are reported in this open file. |
| Summary | (Plain Language Summary, not published)
The open file reports sample location information and raw laboratory heavy mineral data for till samples collected around the Broken Hammer Cu-PGE
occurrence, north rim of the Sudbury structure in northern Ontario. This research was funded by the Targeted Geoscience Initiative-3 (TGI-3). |
