Jul 26, 2017 (Therese Pettigrew) - One sample of biotite (84-2034) had a high lithium content (2000 ppm Li). The area has been examined for uranium, base metals and molybdenum mineralization although no pits were observed in the pegmatites. Tin is reported from a small pegmatite in the immediate area, although this was not confirmed (Storey, 1990).
