General comments

Subject category Comment text
Deposit A URANIUM PROSPECT IS REPORTED TO EXIST AT THE UNCON FORMITY BETWEEN A TERTIARY TOPAZ-BEARING RHYOLITE FLOW AND UNDERLYING TRACHY ANDESITE FLOWS. THE DEPOSIT MAY HAVE BEEN FORMED BY LOW-T ALTERATION AND LEACHING OF THE TOPAZ RHYOLITE. THIS IS PROBABLY THE SAME PROSPECT AS THAT MENTIONED BY TSCHANZ AND PAMPEYAN (1970, P.160) AS CONTAINING AUTINITE.
