LOCATIONS OF TURNSTONE PROJECTS

Research and contract petrography,
analytical work, field projects

Summary: petrography and other work from at least 67 countries, with 47 jurisdictions in North America
(22 US states, 11 Canadian provinces and territories, and 14 Mexican states).
Note: this list refers to contract and research work and relevant analysed samples (including 3,622 detailed descriptions in over 460 reports)
and not to the principal collection of well over 2,500 in-house reference samples.

No equivalent comprehensive breakdown by commodity / purpose of investigation is available at present, partly because these categories often overlap.
A partial survey of over 2,000 samples suggests the following: gold (48%); Ni-Cu-PGE (22%); VMS- sedex- porphyry- MVT- Ag (16%);
archaeology (8%); rare metals, gems and industrial minerals (3%); meteorites (2%); other geology (1%)
