Photograph of drill core at 219m with 2.2% TREO and 19% P205 in drill hole HK22-013. Rare earth element mineralization is amongst a myriad of carbonatite dykes (phoscorite and sovite) which themselves are cut by fluorite-rich carbonate veins. Protoloith alkaline igneous rocks are completely replaced by a potassic alteration assemblage dominated by hydrothermal biotite floating in a fine-grained matrix mosaic of apatite and fluorite.
