General comments

Subject category Comment text
Deposit 20 FT SHAFT in SEC. 19. A prospect is shown on the topo in SW4 of SE4 of Sec. 24.
Deposit "past production, uranophane coatings in fractured granitic rocks." (MINOBRAS, p. A-2)
Deposit "Uranophane occurs as coatings along north-northeast trending, vertical joint surfaces which are adjacent to a N53E striking vertical fault vein in pre-Cambrian granite. Uranophane also occurs in small clay fillings localized along horizontal joint surfaces." (Bull. 50, p. 209).
