Individual outcrops range from metre-scale to near continuous exposures over\n \n 200m\n \n in strike length.\n \n \n The pegmatites are interpreted to dip steeply at ~75-80 degrees with estimated widths ranging from\n \n 5m\n \n to\n \n 50m\n \n . Widths are poorly constrained by abundant overburden and rarely observed contacts with metasedimentary host rocks.\n \n \n Pegmatite mineralogy consists of plagioclase, potassium feldspar, quartz, spodumene, muscovite and tourmaline. Spodumene is abundant in the pegmatites, locally reaching 15-20% of observed outcrops, in some cases with very coarse crystals up to 50 cm in size.\n \n \n 51 channel and regional prospecting samples have been submitted to ALS Global in\n \n Yellowknife\n \n with results to be reported when received.\n \n \n Abundant overburden in the area provides significant scope for expanding these showings considerably.\n \n \n \n \n \...
