Hi EC lets be clear - I buy stuff even when I don't know what I am doing - primarily because - that is ALL the time ... that said, your note seemed to be a road map so I googled Wernecke Mts (thanks for that didn't realize THATS what were talking about) and got this back but NOT useful insofar as I can figoar out .... mindat.org Had to punt here ... mindat.org >>>>>>>>> Wad sord of U deposition iz dad? >>>>>>>>> Never would have thought of that but the combo of Wernecke Mts + deposition laid a preborn chicken .... so - methinks - try Wernecke Mts + minerals and out popped this 200 poounder ... gov.yk.ca page 198 of 227 seemed to talk about mineralization but only by referencing some other dusty document .... in closing, thanks for the insight(s) ..... but I got zero answers .... regards, John

as a follow up did find this ... (but you've probably reviewed it already) .... Wernecke/Ogilvie Mountains U mineralisation occurs in veinlets, on fractures & as disseminations in areas underlain by ?Early to mid-Proterozoic Wernecke Breccia (mPW) in association with iron oxide-copper-gold mineralisation. For example at the Igor prospect (MINFILE 106E 009) U mineralisation occurs as pitchblende: 1) associated with barite & chalcopyrite in fractures/joints in the breccia, 2) as disseminations in zones of chalcopyrite-rich massive magnetite mineralisation & 3) as rims on breccia clasts & disseminations in breccia matrix. Drilling produced encouraging results including a 10.6 m intersection of 6.1% Cu, 0.089 % U O . Stream sediment (RGS) from this area contains 3 8 elevated levels of U & other elements. regards, John geology.gov.yk.ca
