society. Such resources are, however, difficult to locate and extract efficiently. Red Pine Exploration is a_x000D_
small Canadian company that is exploring for gold near Wawa, Ontario. Understanding the chemistry of the_x000D_
rocks that host the gold is critical to efficient location of gold-rich rocks in this area. The rocks that host the_x000D_
gold have experienced many, overlapping events, leading to chemical complexity. This project is designed to_x000D_
unravel that complexity by carefully studying the minerals in different assemblages at Wawa and carrying out_x000D_
chemical analyses of the minerals using state-of-the-art techniques that allow the chemical character of_x000D_
minerals to be determined at a microscopic scale. These data will allow Red Pine Exploration to better_x000D_
understand the chemistry of the rocks that host the mineralization and more efficiently vector towards rocks_x000D_
