Located on the north shore of Fire Eye Lake 1.8 km SE of the Middle Lake Uranium Occurrences, SMDI 1710.
Grab samples of trenched material returned values of 0.27%, 0.34%, 0.08%, and 0.03% U3O8. The mineralization corresponds to conductive zones on EM suggesting that the uranium may have been associated with graphite, although none was noted.
High radioactivity (5X to 6X normal background) was detected on the western side of a large, northeast-trending, Archean granite ridge.
During 1971, 1977 and 1978 exploration programs, anomalous uranium was noted during airborne and ground EM surveys, gravity surveys, geological mapping, diamond drilling and scintillometer surveys.
The area northeast of Woodward Lake is underlain by the Middle Lake granite portion of the Archean Johnson River Inlier. Unit Wfn consists of a sheared granite which contains local inclusions of pelitic schist, amphibole, and/or metadiorite. The granite is, locally overlain by basal Wollaston Group unit Wpsn of a series of fine- to medium-grained, graphitic, pelitic to semipelitic biotite gneiss with intercalated intervals of meta-arkose and meta quartzite. The showing was described by prospectors as outcrops of felsic and mafic metasediments and boulders of poorly mineralized (pyritic) gabbro.
