The Manitouwabing meteorite whose trace constituents have not been previously quantified was analysed for Au, As, Ga, Ge, Ir, Ni, Os, Pd, Pt, Rh and Ru. Our data confirm that it belongs to subgroup IIIA of the IIIAB group and on the basis of the much higher concentrations of As, Ir, Os, Pt, Rh and Ru, it is not paired with Madoc as had previously been proposed.
