BRZ™ GEOLOGY
The deposit is a
very thick
sedimentary
deposit of
zeolitized
volcanic ash of
Tertiary age
known as the
Salt Lake
Formation. The
sedimentary
interval in
which the
clinoptilolite
zeolite
occurs is more
than 1000 feet
thick in the
area. Thick
intervals of the
zeolite are
separated by
thin limestone
beds deposited
in the
freshwater lake
where the
volcanic ash
accumulated. The
deposit includes
an 800 foot
mountain.
Zeolite can be
sampled over a
vertical extent
of 800 feet and
on more than 700
acres. The
current pit
covers more than
3 acres. Within
the pit, the
clinoptilolite zeolite is
remarkably
homogeneous.
Despite the
apparent huge
size of the
deposit, the
Company claims
no reserves.
