Jan 13, 2017 (A Wilson) - The largest pegmatite mass on the south showing was a lenticular body with an exposed length of 61 m and a maximum width of 9.1m. The uranium mineralization in the north showing is located within an irregular shaped body and one small mass of leucogranite and graphic granite and leucogranite pegmatite. The host rock is a hybrid granite gneiss, striking 20 to 35 degrees east and dipping vertically to 65 degrees west. The irregularly shaped granite body is about 138 m long and 6 to 37 m wide.
