FIG. 13. Bivariate plots of sulfur (wt %) vs. Ni, Pt, and Pd (ppm). Note the positive correlations, suggesting a sulfide control on mineralization. Elevated Ni concentrations in samples without sulfides suggest the presence of minor Ni in silicate minerals. Preliminary electron microprobe data confirm that clinopyroxene contains significant Ni. Correlation coefficients (r) are calculated for samples, excluding the High-Grade zone.
