Core bench photo of carbonatite (sovite) dykes and vein breccia observed over 10’s of metres in HK22-019 on the southern rim of the Hecla-Kilmer alkaline intrusive complex. Unique to this zone are the fine grains of biotite-amphibole and apatite streaming through the calcite-dominated sovite dykes. This vertical hole was drilled from the same pad as the 55.2 metres at 0.70% TREO at a lateral distance of roughly 60 metres at this depth.
