Major and minor elemental constituents in a series of chromium ore samples were determined by neutron activation analysis. The influence of the variable amount of gangue was minimized by comparing the ratios of the concentrations of the elements believed to be associated with the chromite to the observed chromium concentration. The data obtained indicate that these ratios are significantly different for each ore deposit examined to be characteristic of their geographic origin.
