Work History

Staked as the Ting, Noting and Prospecting cl (YA5027) in Jun-Sep/76 by Ukon JV (Chevron & Kerr Addison), which performed geochem and radiometric surveys in 1976, grid radiometric surveys and rock trenching in 1977 and 1978 and drilled 2 holes (87 m) in 1979.
Mountain Mls L staked the adjoining Hot cl (YA5067) to the north in Jun/76 and conducted a radiometric survey and transferred the claims to T & T Mgmt L in 1977.

Capsule Geology

The claims cover a pseudoleucite tinguaite phase at the south margin of the Cretaceous Tombstone syenite stock. The tinguaite is cut by linear zones containing uraninite with minor associated purple fluorite and molybdenite. Yellow uranium secondary minerals coat near-surface fractures.
Olade and Goodfellow reported a background range of 1 to 282 ppm Th and 3 to 86 ppm U in the syenite and 55 to 125 ppm Th and 3 to 206 ppm U in the tinguaite, rising to as much as 10 000 ppm U near mineralized zones which grade in the range of 0.2% to 2% U3O8. The best assay obtained from hand trenching was 1.08% U3O8 across 1.0 m. Drilling below the trenches failed to detect significant mineralization.
