May 20, 2009 (A Wilson) - Diamond drilling intersected hematized and carbonatized nepheline syenite and lamprophyre dikes.
May 20, 2009 (A Wilson) - Sampled sections of the core ranging in length from 1 to 6 feet gave 0.01 to 0.05% Nb2O5 and less than 0.01% U3O5. A spectrographic analysis of core from drill hole 66-3 returned 0.5% Cu and 0.5 oz/t Ag. Disseminated pyrite and pyrrhotite were commonly observed. Trace chalcopyrite and disseminated magnetite also were observed.
