Dec 07, 2005 (C Papertzian) - Lenticular bodies of radioactive pegmatite in marble with interbedded biotite paragneiss and amphibolite. These are exposed from the shore of Crystal Lake for 1,400 ft to the N. At least 4 bodies are present, from a few feet to 150 ft thick, in a zone about 700 ft wide. Mineralization appears to be closely associated with the contact zones. OGS 1987 (OFR 5635) lists some assay results.
