Fieldschool 2009
In August-September 2009 students from Lakehead and the University of Saskatchewan entering their final year of their undergraduate degree undertook a two week fieldschool. The students found themselves working in areas of PGE mineralisation near Marathon, Archean volcanic rocks near Beardmore, and Midcontinent Rift related rocks south of Thunder Bay. The following photos are some of the highlights.
