In June of 2001, Once-A-Rock Inc. staked three claims on the Monkstown Road Lazulite occurance. Preliminary prospecting work in 2001 and 2002 produced some minor Lazulite associated with Specularite in a Quartz vein next to the road. More Lazulite was found in float at other locations on the property. A short drill hole on the outcrop with the Lazulite would be necessary to determine if there is economic quantities at depth.
Lazulite is a semi-precious stone similar to Lapis Lazuli.
The rights to a gold showing also on the claims was optioned out to a Vancouver Junior mining company (2002-3) but has now been returned to Once-A-Rock Inc. in good standing.
