Dec 07, 2005 (P Beach) - Radioactivity at the contact of a Keweenawan diabase dike and Early Precambrian granite. The dike strikes N40W, dips 60NE and has a width of 200 feet. The pitchblende mineralization is associated with calcite and hematite that fill the fractures in the sheared contact zone and cracks in the diabase and granite. Two samples from two trenches gave chemical assays of 0.08 % and 0.10 % U3O8 (OGS 1983 MDC 25 P 39-40).
