| General | From Ursa Major Minerals Inc. 2004 annual report: Wyoming properties URSA has a PGM exploration property, totalling approximately 30 claims (600 acres) in Carbon and Albany Counties, Wyoming. The claims are 100% owned by URSA and were acquired by staking. URSA's exploration program for PGM's in southern Wyoming is focused on a major geological fault structure along which Proterozoic mafic rocks intrude older rocks of the Archean Wyoming craton. Southern Wyoming contains a number of reported PGM occurrences and has geological similarities with highly prospective early Proterozoic rocks in the Sudbury area of Ontario. The Stillwater PGM deposit occurs on the northern margin of the Wyoming craton. URSA?s exploration targets in southern Wyoming include high-grade shear zone related mineralization on the West Rambler property and reef type mineralization in the Mullen Creek Complex, a major layered intrusion with pyroxenite, troctolite, and gabbroic rocks. The Company drilled 3 holes totaling approximately 500 meters on the West Rambler property in Wyoming, U.S.A. The drill holes tested several geophysical and geochemical targets but did not encounter significant mineralization. The Company will evaluate further exploration options for potential high-grade copper-PGM mineralization on the property. (There is no mention of Rambler in the 2005 Annual Report.) |
