Book excerpt: Summarizes previously unpublished geochemical and heavy mineral data from surveys of humus, till, modern alluvium, and pebbles in the area of the Michipicoten greenstone belt near Wawa, Ontario. Information is included on the regional geology, sampling and analytical methodology, processing of data on kimberlite indicator minerals and metamorphosed magmatic massive sulphide indicator minerals, regional geochemical surveys (for gold, base metals, rare-element pegmatites, and miscellaneous geochemical signatures), and regional heavy mineral surveys. Recommendations are made for gold, base metal, rare-element pegmatite, and kimberlite exploration targets.
