The RAR 5 showing is part of the Xeno property, 20 kilometres west of the Kechika River.

The mineralization is hosted by an alkalic intrusive-extrusive igneous complex in the tuff-chert-limestone unit. This complex forms a west-northwest–trending belt of probably cogenetic syenites, trachytic volcanics, carbonatites and diatremes that has been mapped for at least 20 kilometres. The belt ranges in surface width from a few hundred metres to a few kilometres.

Mineralization occurs as carbonate-fluorite veining within an alkaline intrusive-extrusive complex.

In 2010, Paget Minerals Corp. acquired the property from Pembrook Mining Corp. and optioned it to Seymour Ventures Corp.

In 2011, Rare Earth Industries Ltd. (previously Seymour Ventures Corp.) completed rock sampling on the property. Highlights include sample L651972, which assayed 0.9437 weight per cent total rare earth oxides plus yttrium (Assessment Report 32772).

For more information about the property history and regional geology, see RAR 7 (MINFILE 094L 017).

Note: This occurrence was initially entered as 092L 442, and was changed to 094L 048 in June 2023.
