Abstract
Incidence of Pt and Pd along with Au and Ag has been recorded in the serpentinised peridotites near Ikauna village(24°23'19"78°52'40"), Lalitpur district, Uttar Pradesh, which are in contact with gabbroic/dioritic and granitic rocks in the north and dioritic rocks in the south. The peridotite/serpentinised Talc-Actinolite schist zone has been traced for a distance of 15 km along the strike with an average width of 90m. Selected trench samples have shown Pt up to 1 71 ppm, Pd 2 02 ppm, Ir 0 62 ppm, Ru 0 07 ppm, Rh 0 30 ppm, Au 0 23 ppm, Ag 19 99 ppm, and NI 4800 ppm, Co 397 ppm, and Cr 4400 ppm. The zone continues eastwards and westwards with reduced width, but with incidence of these metals. Exploration is continuing for ascertaining existence of econormically viable mineralization.
