Jan 27, 2017 (A Wilson) - The pegmatite contains local magnetite and minor chalcopyrite. The scintillometer survey indicated several continuous radioactive zones for over a strike length of 4,600 feet and several disjointed areas of radioactivity for a further 2,000 feet. Some forty-seven diamond drill holes for approximately 23,839 feet have been completed to test the radioactive pegmatites in the north part of the property over a strike length of 2,400 feet.
