Geological Summary
A roughly circular (4 kilometre diameter) carbonatite complex of Mississippian age has intruded carbonate and clastic sedimentary rocks of the Lower Paleozoic Kechika Group and Skoki Formation. The intrusive is composed of a dolomitic core, an ultramafic annulus and a halo of altered sedimentary host rocks. Seven niobium-bearing zones have been identified within the core.
