Dec 07, 2005 (P Beach) - A brecciated zone in diabase contains carbonate, chalcopyrite, smaltite, pitchblende (uraninite) and uranophane. Some uranium mineralization also occurs in adjacent sediments of the Gowganda Formation. The zone appears to strike NE. The best uranium assay from core samples was 0.074% U3O8 over 5 feet; best copper assay was 0.53% Cu over 5 feet; best cobalt assay was 0.008% Co over 5 feet; best nicke; assay was trace Ni. (ODM 1969 MRC 12 p 20).
