Dec 07, 2005 (B Nelson) - This occurrence is hosted by west-northwest trending quart-sericite schist units. These are believed to be sheared trondhjemite dykes intruding intermediate to mafic volcanics. The quartz-sericite schist units contain multiple thin calc-silicate-chlorite horizons. Pyrite is disseminated throughout the quartz-sericite schist units and galena is reported in one calc-silicate horizon. Uranium mineralization is concentrated in the calc-silicate horizons. Bull quartz veins are found in the occurrence area.
