| Geological Summary |
The claims cover a circular carbonatite complex roughly 4 kilometres across which intrudes Cambrian-Silurian sedimentary rocks. A dolomitic carbonatite core contains substantial niobium reserves as fersmite with lesser pyrochlore and columbite and phosphate as apatite. Minor rare earth minerals are generally confined to the outer margins of the complex and occur as bastnaesite, monazite, and burbankite in thin iron-carbonate dykes.
