QA/QC samples including certified reference material, field duplicates and blanks were inserted into sample intervals. Please see attached map figure for more information.
The program was intended to follow up on historic stream-sediment results returning values as high as 1.19% TREO* to give direction to future exploration activities, including airborne geophysics, and additional geological mapping and prospecting with the intent to define drill targets.
*TREO is the expressed summation of La2O3 + Ce2O3 + Pr2O3 + Nd2O3 + Sm2O3 + Eu2O3 + Gd2O3 + Tb2O3 + Dy2O3 + Ho2O3 + Er2O3 + Tm2O3 + Yb2O3 + Lu2O3 + Y2O3
