Six vertical holes drilled by Union Carbide in the 1960’s on the adjacent ground, known as Cole Creek, showed a southern continuance of the Carlin Vanadium deposit with thicknesses ranging from 10.67m to 28.96m (average 18.54m; 60.8ft) and grades ranging from 0.37% to 0.82% V2O5 (average 0.57% V2O5), the company said.
