Mineralization: Within the greisen, mineralization
is disseminated in patches of phengite and quartz and/or associated
with narrow, oxidized, iron-rich veins. Minerals identified include:
arsenopyrite, pyrite, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, stannite, wittichenite,
cassiterite and covelite. Digenite resulted from the alteration
of chalcopyrite and sphalerite. High scintillometer readings were
recorded from the Discovery vein, the mineral was assumed to be
torbernite or metatorbenite (Ellsworth, 1950). The presence of autenite
was suggested by the existence of a green fluorescing mineral in
radioactive patches (O'Reilly, 1982). |

and is immediately west of Big Indian Lake.

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.
