The Lened deposits are scheelite-bearing skarn occurrences located between the world-class Cantung and Mactung tungsten deposits along the Yukon- Northwest Territories border. A winter road from the town of Tungsten to the Howard's Pass lead-zinc deposit passes within 13 km of the Lened property which is some 40 km north-northwest of Cantung. Extensive property work by Union Carbide Corporation includes 168 historical drill holes totalling 23,019 metres (75,522 feet). In 1982 Union Carbide calculated "total mining reserves"* of 18.5 million pounds of tungsten oxide. These "reserves"* occur in three separate but closely related bodies called Western, Stephens and Emma and were calculated by five separate methods. There are a total of 18 known tungsten showings on the property and two of these appear to have significant potential, for example an intersection of 1.75% WO3 over 5.4 metres is reported in one of these locations.| Property | Classification | Cut-off Grade %WO3 | Tonnes | Grade WO3 % | Pounds WO3 | MTU's | Company |
