Dec 07, 2005 (C Papertzian) - Granite pegmatite sills and dykes up to 20 m thick in biotite gneiss. Radioactivity is associated with shearing, abundant biotite and quartz, smokey quartz and dark pink feldspar. Trench samples averaged 0.05 % U3O8, drilling returned low values. On lot 4, con 7, the shearing may be related to the Croker Lake Fault. See OGS, MDC 23, 1981.
