Dec 07, 2005 (C Papertzian) - Uranium mineralization in pegmatites, metasomatic deposits in marble and hydrothermal vein deposits in pyroxenite. 7 main zones (up to 1,900 x 75 ft in area) were identified; zones 2, 3 and 4 show ore grades over narrow widths. Most DDH assays were < 0.005 %, the best were 0.081, 0.183 and 0.128 % over 0.8, 0.3 and 0.4 ft respectively.
