| Deposit | A YELLOW POWDERY URANIUM MINERAL OCCURS IN ASSOCIATION WITH A HIGHLY ALTERED PEGMATITE DIKE. VERTICAL VEINLETS OF QUARTZ WITH BLACK TOURMALINE INTRUDED ALONG A N 85 E STRIKE IN ROTTEN QUARTZ MONZONITE. MOST STRUCTURE IN QUARTZ MONZONITE IS OBSCURED BY WEATHERING AND ALTERATION. THE URANIUM IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE VEINS, BUT IS IN THE ALTERED QUARTZ-MONZONITE. |
