Shawinigan nickel-copper property — A case history of a reconnaissance geochemical discovery in the Grenville Province of Quebec,Canada

Study of an area in the southern Grenville of Quebec, by a stream sediment reconnaissance survey, outlined a previously unknown nickel-copper occurrence. Both reconnaissance and detail soil surveys were employed to define the sources of the stream sediment anomalies. A rock geochemical survey was carried out along with the detail soil survey. Some of the soil and rock geochemical anomalies were drilled and in all cases low-grade nickel-copper mineralization was encountered.
