| Geologic maps |
West and Ellenberger (2010), scale 1:24,000. |
| Geophysical data |
Inadequate aeromagnetic and aeroradiometric coverage. |
| Favorable rocks and structures |
Alkalic intrusive complex. |
| Deposits |
None. |
| Evidence from mineral occurrences |
Potential from mineral system/deposit type. |
| Geochemical evidence |
Whole rock geochemistry (West and others, 2016). |
| Geophysical evidence |
Unknown. |
| Evidence from other sources |
Sweden produces REE from several cancrinite-bearing nepheline plutons. |
| Comments |
This pluton is known from glacial float and only a few outcrops. The edges are only poorly defined by airborne mag surveys. |
| Cover thickness and description |
Glacial till covers nearly 100% if the pluton. |
