Mineralization Comments

Apr 01, 2010 (A Wilson) - The pyrite is estimated to comprise about 1% of the showing. A few crystals of molybdenite were observed. Radioactive counts were twice background levels in the coarse units and 2.5 times the background level in the greywacke. The highest radioactivity was 4 x background. Two grab samples collected by H. Meyn in 1966 returned 0.003% U3O8.
