Extract

Some remarks made at a meeting of the Cornish Institute of Engineers by Dr. R. H. Rastall directed attention to the possibility of platinum being found in the Lizard. In a paper upon “Ore Deposits of Igneous Origin”, Dr. Rastall pointed out that in the Lizard the local characteristics were favourable to the presence of platinum, although no definite information of its occurrence had been reported. Much interest was aroused locally by these remarks, and the writers resolved to investigate the alluvials derived from the altered ultrabasic igneous rocks of the Lizard Group.
