Goeland Property Intrusive Map with Drill Holes

Goeland Property Map

The Montviel Alkaline complex encompasses 6 main geological units: Pmtv1 through 6. Historically, almost all of the anomalous rare earth element, niobium and phosphate values have been encountered within Pmtv 5, which is composed of ferrocarbonatite, apatite-bearing ferrocarbonatite, silicocarbonatite and pyrrhotite-bearing calciocarbonatite.

Sector 1 Historical Diamond Drill Hole 93-MO-03

This hole was completed by Diabex Inc. in the 1990's while exploring for diamonds.

The hole 93-MO-03 (azimuth 360°, dip -45°) was drilled to a total depth of 99.0 meters and was stopped in Carbonatite. It was collared near a small magnetic high and intersected 71.6 m of white Carbonatite with minor ijolitic dykes starting directly underneath the overburden. The true width is unknown and the carbonatite unit remains open at depth.

At the time, the magnetic anomaly was explained by the presence of magnetite crystals and/or thin horizons of magnetite throughout the hole length.

Sector 2 Historical Diamond Drill Hole 93-MO-02

This hole was completed by Diabex Inc. in the 1990's while exploring for diamonds.

The hole 93-MO-02 (azimuth 180°, dip -45°) was drilled to a total depth of 96.9 meters and was stopped while still in the Carbonatite Megabreccia. It was collared near a small magnetic high and intersected 63.4 m of Carbonatite Megabreccia interbedded with pegmatite and volcanic horizons. The Carbonatite sections are between 0.6 and 1.5 m wide and contain ubiquitous magnetite crystals and/or thin horizons of magnetite. The true width is unknown and the Carbonatite Megabreccia is still open at depth.
