Lithology Comments

Apr 24, 2013 (A Wilson) - Diamond drill hole 16 intersected a sequence of quartzite with narrow interbeds of conglomerate between 50 and 60 feet in the drill hole. The drill hole also intersected the Precambrian basement which is comprised of pillowed basalts, gabbro and felsite. The basement was intersected at approximately 1078 ft.




Mineralization Comments

Apr 24, 2013 (A Wilson) - Selected samples assayed 0.04% U3O8. Radioactivity of 10-20 x the background level was not uncommon. Locally this may rise to 40 x background where quartz pebbles are present.
