Dec 07, 2005 (P Beach) - A differentiated Nipissing diabase sill intrudes interbedded quartzite and hematitic radioactive conglomerate of the Lorrain Formation. Granodiorite zones in the diabase contain scattered chalcopyrite, pyrite, bornite and specularite. Some of the zones intersected in drilling are radioactive up to 15 times background. Assays from 10 radioactive zones, averaging 2.5 feet thick were 0.09 % U3O8 (radiometric equivalent). (OGS 1983 MDC 25 P 56).
