The type and style of mineralization is similar to that
at the Millet Brook Uranium Deposit, Hants County, Nova Scotia.
Finely disseminated U-bearing phosphates (torbernite and autunite),
chalcopyrite and pyrite are associated with an extensively hematized
northeast-trending, shear zone. The uraniferous zone extends
for approximately 100 m along the shear.
Rock types exposed in the gravel pit encompass all phases of
the Big Indian Polyphase Intrusive Suite. The wall rocks exhibit
intense hydrothermal alteration, including high-alumina hydrothermal
alteration as reflected by the presence of andalusite, cordierite,
sillimanite, spinel, garnet, muscovite, biotite and tourmaline.
