Mineralization Comments

Feb 11, 2017 (A Wilson) - The preliminary surface grab sampling of the "C" Zone trenches showed the presence of Rare Earths in noteworthy amounts in all samples collected. The Yttrium content ranges as high as 434 ppm (0.86 Ibs. per ton) and the Gadolinium content appears to be considerably above average. The general Rare Earth content is much higher towards the east end of the trenches where the thorium content and hence the radioactivity is higher. This section also contains more magnetite, dark mineral, and the pegmatite has a brownish colour.
