Comments

Comment (Workings): SABUGALITE IS DISSEMINATED IN A 1-FOOT THICK TERTIARY CLAY BED AND AN UNDERLYING 2-INCH CARBONACEOUS BED. THE MINERALIZED UNIT OVERLIES WATER DEPOSITED TUFFS WHICH DISCONFORMABLY OVERLIE GRANITIC ROCKS. SPARSE URANIUM MINERALIZATION EXTENDS A SHORT DISTANCE INTO THE UNDERLYING TUFFS. THE CLAY BED CONTAINS UVANIUM FOR OVER 100 FEET ALONG THE STRIKE (GARSIDE P 104)
