Abstract
The work that was carried out this summer in the platinum-bearing region aimed at finding out the direction in which exploration for primary platinum should be carried out. The only goal of our work was to collect material for the petrographic characterization of the area. Samples were taken from outcrops mainly along quarter-section lines, roads and ravines. The results of processing the collected material represent the bulk of this work. In another part, I shall focus on the discovered platinum deposits.
