Jun 24, 2024 (Nazha Sabiri) - Selected grab samples from pitchblende assayed as high as 34.98% uranium as U3O8 (MDC09). Sample (CAN05) taken from a dibase waste rock, in a historical trench, assayed 7240 ppm cobalt and 737 ppm nickel (File 20000020027).
May 03, 2023 (Q Unknown) - On the east side of the topographical ridge in the upper part of the sill are a number of silver-bearing veins and dikes. The veins are aplitic with the ore mineralization associated with calcite as streaks and lenses. Leaf silver occurs disseminated in the diabase.
