Cavan Ventures Inc. reported an overlimit assay for rare earth elements (REE) from the 2012 program at its 100% owned Pythonga Property, located approximately 15 kilometers west of the town of Maniwaki, Quebec. Sample P268092 was taken on the Pythonga Lake project. The method of analysis for rare earth and trace elements uses lithium metaborate/tetraborate fusion followed by Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) for the major oxides and Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry ICP-MS for 38 elements that includes the REEs.

For channel sample P 268092, elements such as Ce, La, Nd, Pr, Sm and Th exceeded the upper detection limits of these assay methods, and it is the first sample to be re-assayed using the ME-MS81h method. sample P268092 was collected at a new location, the "Frog" occurrence, which is in mafic gneiss mixed with some pegmatite dikes. The outcrop is 1-2m wide and was followed over 25m in length.

The occurrence is open in both directions.
