Gunn, A.G.; Shaw, M.H.. 1993 Rare earth elements in alkaline intrusions, north-west Scotland. British Geological Survey, 66pp. (WF/MR/93/011, Mineral Reconnaissance Programme open file report 11) (Unpublished)
Data for the rare earth elements (REE) Ce, La and Y are presented for rock and drainage samples
from three late Caledonian alkaline intrusions of north and north-west Scotland. The neighbouring
Loch Borralan and Loch Ailsh intrusions were investigated in the late 1980's for the platinum group
elements (PGE), and samples were also analysed for the REE. The Ben Loyal Complex, situated 50
km to the north-east, was investigated for the REE on the basis of archived mineralogical and
geochemical information. These investigations were carried out as part of the Mineral Reconnaissance
Programme (MRP) and commissioned by the Department of Trade and Industry.
