High metals in the tops of spruce trees at Rottenstone

[megacopper]

There is a paragraph on page 24 below of a biochem study completed around the Rottenstone mine that found high nickel platinum and palladium metal values in the tops of spruce trees around the old mine. I read more on this interesting study elsewhere but I was unable to post it. Just one more piece of the geological puzzle. This biochemical study was carried out with the use of a helicopter believe it or not. I found it fascinating because I never heard of it before but it makes sense because if the soils are high in metals then that would end up in the trees as well.

  If you read the paragraph on this study it said there was a 4km by 6km elliptical ring around the old Rottenstone mine that was high in palladium Pd and other metals. It goes on to say that the spruce tree data substantiates the idea of more significant PGE mineralization in the area. I found it very interesting.

Both fascinating and, imo, compelling. Logical - but first that I've heard of this type of analysis. Hat tip to Mega. Bb
