Jun 13, 2011 (A Wilson) - A large quartz monzonite body has intruded syenite and clastic siliceous metasediments. The contact of the metasediments with the quartz monzonite is an area of considerable mixing and local radioactive mineralization is associated with a gradational contact zone from quartz monzonite to arenite. The mixed contact zone contains lenses, irregular pods and patches of pyroxene granophyres and marble, lenses of hornblende-plagioclase gneiss and dikes, veins and patches of granitic and syenitic pegmatite.
