Abstract

Three Canadian reference rocks, syenites SY-2 and SY-3, and gabbro MRG-1 have been analysed for Na, K, Sc, Cr, Fe, Co, Zn, As, Rb, Cs, Ba, La, Ce, Nd, Sm, Eu, Tb, Yb, Lu, Hf, Ta and Th, by instrumental neutron activation analysis. The results are reported and compared with “usable” values. In general the agreement is good.
