Jul 05, 2011 (A Wilson) - The mineralization is hosted within the Raglan Hills metagabbro complex. The complex consists of a mixture of diorite, gabbro, pyroxenite, and hornblendite and a contact phase of well-layered hornblende schist. The Raglan Hills complex has been metamorphosed to middle to upper amphibolite facies, substantially altering the original mineralogy and textures of the intrusive rocks. The predominant rock type in the intrusion is medium- to coarse-grained, massive to gneissic metagabbro composed of variable proportions of hornblende and plagioclase. Accessory minerals in the Raglan Hills complex include sphene, apatite, carbonate, zircon, quartz, olivine, and hypersthene.

Jul 05, 2011 (A Wilson) - The mineralization consisted of chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite and pyrite filling the fractures and replacing the silicates in the metagabbro. A grab sample collected by Ameranium Mines Ltd. from a pit north of Beaver Lake returned 0.5% Cu
