Qualified comments: |
(Applies to: diamond drill hole assays) Diamond drilling done by Wernecke Joint Venture in 1979, 1980, and 1982 produced several mineralized intervales, the best of which averaged 4.74% Cu and 0,89% U3O8 over 19.81 m and 6.49% Cu and 0.090% U3O8 over 10.06 m.
(Applies to: rock assays) Samples of barite-rich material containing pitchblende, yellow to orange secondary uranium minerals and minor chalcopyrite assayed up to 3.65% U3O8 while samples of chalcopyrite rich material with sooty pitchblende returned up to 0.27% U3O8. |
