Deposit shape: vein zone
Deposit dimensions:length: 800 metre
width: 600 metre
height: 100 metre
Qualified comments: (Applies to: discovery and development) An airborne gammametric survey was undertaken in 1968, followed by ground surveys by various methods in drift covered area until 1975 in the Dominique-Peter area, without much success. In the surrounding area, however, the D ore body was discovered in 1970, Claude in 1971 and Dominique-Peter in 1981. During 1979, geological mapping of exploration adit of the Claude deposit revealed highly mineralized zones of 'Cluff Breccia'. This led to further evaluation of breccias in the Dominique-Peter area. In 1980 reconnaissance drilling between two magnetic anomalies encountered one intersection of 2.5 % U over 4.2 m. The deposit was outlined in 1982 by development drilling of 209 vertical and 123 inclined holes at 40 m spacing. Economic mineralization was found at depth between 100 and 300 m. A decline for underground mining of was started in 1983. The mine produced ore from 1984 to 1999.

(Applies to: mineralization) The mineralization occurs in the form of mineralized en echelon veins 1 to 15 cm wide, dipping steeply to the west and trending N to NNE. They are located at 50-225 m below surface, and comprise two main closely spaced sets plus a small cluster and another set to the northwest.
