The\nsamples were collected as chips of rock from approximately one square\nmeter (nine square feet) of outcrop.\n \n \n \n \n Nortec has received the final analytical results for\nthese samples from ALS USA Inc., an accredited laboratory based in\nReno, Nevada, on March 15, 2021.  The assay results were delayed\nbecause of the Covid-19 restrictions.\n \n \n \n \n Cottonwood is located approximately 372 kilometres (230\nmiles) by road southeast of Salt Lake City, Utah (Figure 1) and is\nsituated in the Cottonwood Wash-Trachyte vanadium-uranium district,\nHenry Mountains Basin.\n \n \n \n \n The samples were analyzed for 61 elements using an ICP\nAtomic Emission Spectroscopy and ICP Mass Spectrometry techniques.  A\ntotal sample digestion method was chosen for these analyses because\nmany vanadium minerals are clays that are not digestible by more\ncommonly used partial digestion techniques.
