Mar 04, 2011 (C Ravnaas) - The occurrence is of the palingenic type, in a lit par lit banded migmatite terraine. Metamorphism is of upper amphibolite grade. A granulite isotherm and a foliated biotite trondjemite stock (possible part of the Gone Lake Stock) is interpreted tooccur north of the property (Breaks 1982). The granulite facies Werner Lake-Rex Lake Cu-Ni-Co trend is located several krn northwest of the property. Uranium mineralization is associated with pale white and pink leucogranites and minor quartz veins. Contacts with amphibolitized metasedimentary bands often display metamictic black quartz and high radioactivity. Thorium content is low in most samples. Numerous areas of cartnotite/uranophane staining were observed and thin grey quartz veining displays uranium oxide coatings. Green torbernite was noted on some weathered surfaces. Anomalous radioactivity with counts of 1000- 1200 cps are common throughout these rock units, particularly in the white granites. Pink and white leucogranites form irregular elongated bodies with exposed areas on the order 25 x 150 m. Two main trends of white leucogranite were noted, separated by 50 m of pink leucogranite and sediment inclusions. There may be three separate granitic zones, or two folded lenses of white leucogranite with the pink leucogranite in the hinge. Ptygmatic folding is common in migmatites. (Reference Quest Uranium Kenora Assessment File 52L07SE V-1 AFRO # 2.40813).
Mar 04, 2011 (C Ravnaas) - A total of nine (9) shallow trenches from previous work were located. Grab sample was taken from several trenches. Eight (8) white leucogranite samples from trenches returned from 53 to 479 ppm lb08. Ten other samples cut from areas with carnotite staining in pink leucogranites returned assays from 398 to 3623 ppm U308. A sample taken from white leucogranite on an island west of the main showings returned 1971 ppm U308. Carnotite staining was also observed (Reference Quest Uranium Kenora Assessment File 52L07SE V-1 AFRO # 2.40813).
