Winnaarshoek drill core - geochemical and isotopic data for Merensky Reef, Bastard unit, and Lower Main Zone (Bushveld Complex, South Africa)

Samples of half or quarter core were obtained at Winnaarshoek from three drill–holes (Figs. 8 and 9). Drill–holes WH–1 and WH–14 were collared in the UCZ and intersected the Merensky Reef; WH–1 was extended to intersect the UG2. Drill–hole WH-27 was collared in the LMZ and intersected the Merensky Reef. Sixty samples from the Merensky Footwall, Merensky, and Bastard units, as well as the LMZ, were obtained.
