Capsule Geology	Anomalous uranium showings are reported from coarse-grained "pegmatoid" layers within the fine-grained quartz-biotite schists and gneisses of the Late Cretaceous Kinnaird Orthogneiss (Castlegar Gneiss). The pegmatoid horizons consist of coarse feldspars and quartz. Background radioactivity is about 3 times regional levels.
