General Information
Secondary Commodities: uranium, thorium
Aliases: Beta
Deposit Type(s): Uranium
Location(s): 64.417780 N, -138.538060 W
NTS Mapsheet(s): 116B07
Location Comments: .5 Kilometres
Hand Samples Available at YGS: No
Capsule
Work History
Staked as the Beta cl (YA10079) in Apr/77 following airborne spectrometer surveys in 1976 by Urangesellschaft L, which explored with mapping and a grid scintillometer survey in 1977 and mapping, geochemical and radiometric surveys in 1979.
Capsule Geology
The claims cover an area of anomalous radioactivity in syenite and quartz monzonite of the Middle Cretaceous Tombstone stock. Aplite dykes cutting the syenite give strongly anomalous uranium and thorium values and samples taken by Urangesellschaft returned assays up to 0.16 kg/tonne U and 0.95 kg/tonne Th.
