Dec 07, 2005 (P Beach) - Radioactivity in fault zone in Lorrain quartzite. The radioactive zones consist of narrow limonite-stained fractures which contain quartz and feldspar, and tiny breccia fragments of quartzite. They range in thickness from 5 to 15 cm and can be traced along strike for about 6 m. Three parallel zones occur on a steep hillside across a horizontal distance of about 12 m. The zones strike N70W and dip 30 to 35 N. Three samples collected from the widest zone were analysed and found to contain 40, 67 and 87 ppm U3O8 with less than 10 ppm ThO2 in each. (OGS 1983 MDC 25 P 55).
