Exploration History

1969: C. Kehoe carried out a geiger survey and opened 88 shalllow pits. Grab samples (79) of 7-9 lbs were assayed (1969-70 Bordun Mining Corporation Ltd) Sept 1969: Chivex Exploration Services completed a geiger survey on a cut base-line with chained stations. Oct-Nov 1969: Cana Exploration Consultants Ltd completed a comprehensive and detailed spectrometric survey on a 500 x 1,350 ft area. Some stripping and trenching were also carried out. 1976-7: Beach Gold Mines Ltd mapped and drilled and carried out an airborne radiometric survey.

Mineralization Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (C Papertzian) - Granite pegmatites intrude granite gneiss, uranium mineralization occurring in lenses and tabular bodies up to 150 ft wide. Pegmatites with the highest biotite content and greatest shearing are distinctly more radioactive. See OGS, MDC 23, 1981.


May 16, 2022 (Q Unknown) - 1969: samples from the pits averaged 0.07 % U3O8 and 0.75 % ThO2; combined pulps from pit samples averaged 1.00 lb U3O8/ton, 7.60 lb ThO2/ton and 10 lb REE/ton.
