One of the world's largest nickel deposits, the Sudbury Complex in Ontario, is hosted by 1.85 billion years old igneous rocks. The Huronian sediments, east of the Sudbury Complex, are also enriched in metals and locally, they have elevated concentrations in nickel, copper, gold and cobalt. As the origin of base and precious metals in the sediments have never been identified, a detailed investigation concerning the source of these metals could lead to further discoveries of economic importance in the region.

世界上最大的镍矿床之一，安大略省的萨德伯里综合体，由18.5亿年历史的火成岩主持。萨德伯里综合体以东的休伦尼亚沉积物也富含金属，在当地，镍，铜，黄金和钴的浓度升高。由于从未确定过沉积物中的碱基和贵金属的起源，有关这些金属来源的详细调查可能会导致该地区的经济重要性进一步发现。
