Dec 07, 2005 (P Beach) - The showing is in a diabase dike about 60 feet wide where an aplite dike 8 inches wide extends diagonally across it for a length of 30 feet. The central part of the aplite dike has a 2 to 3 inch wide radioactive zone of carbonate and quartz which has given anomalies up to 5 times background. A selected sample from the most radioactive part of the dike showed 0.30 % U3O8 (radiometric equivalent) (OGS 1983 MDC 25 P 41-42).
