GRADE AND TONNAGE MODEL OF MAJOR PODIFORM CHROMITE
By Donald A. Singer, Norman J Page, and Bruce R. Lipin
DATA REFERENCES Page and others (1979), Page and others (1982b), Page and others (1984).
COMMENTS This model, number 8b, is provided as an alternative to the podiform chromite model, number 8a, based on California and Oregon deposits because of the significant difference in tonnage of the two groups. The two groups are geologically similar and share the same descriptive model. Rh, Ir, Ru, Pd, and Pt grades are based on reported analyses of samples from the deposits. Platinum grade is correlated with chromite grade (r = 0.76, n = 12) and iridium grade (r = 0.71, n = 8). Rhodium is correlated with iridium grade (r = 0.88, n = 7). See figs. 24-26.
