Abstract/NotesThe Bird River Sill has been explored for chromite, Ni-Cu and platinum group elements (PGEs). A recent unprecedented increase in both
demand for and price of PGEs, plus the demonstrated potential of the
Bird River Sill to contain economic PGE deposits, have led to renewed
interest in exploring the sill for these minerals. A sulphide- and PGEbearing rock layer hosted by a highly deformed peridotite unit was
defined, mapped and sampled on the Chrome property. Two PGE-bearing layers associated with chromitite had previously been defined on the
property. Field investigations show that the mineralized layers are
stratabound but disrupted by block faulting.
A sulphide-bearing peridotite layer, associated with chromitite in a
stratigraphic position analogous to those on the Chrome property, was
defined on the Page property, located
approximately 2.5 km northeast of the
Chrome property
