Geology

Province: Southern

Supergroup: Huronian Supergroup

Geological Age: Paleoproterozoic  



Geology Comments

Dec 16, 2010 (G Bennett) - The southern part of the property is underlain by Keewatin volcanics and sediments, including a zone of low-grade magnetite iron formation upon which no development has been carried out. These rocks form the ridge seperating the Nordic and the Pardee conglomerate-bearing valleys




Lithology

Quartz Arenite 2 Hanging Wall

Lithology Comments

Dec 16, 2010 (A Wilson) - The most westerly holes intersected several beds of radioactive, oligomictic conglomerate of the Matinenda Formation. These beds became thinner and much less radioactive to the east.




Mineralization Comments

Dec 16, 2010 (A Wilson) - The two most westerly holes gave maximum grades of 0.09% U3O8 over 5 feet and 0.14% U3O8 over 4 feet.
