Jul 15, 2011 (A Wilson) - The ore body was estimated to be approximately 6 feet wide, lying at the contact between gneiss and calcitic marble. The ore body had been exposed for a length of 220 feet along strike. The main workings consisted of a 215 ft long by 15 feet wide open cut trending N50°E. The granite gneiss is interbedded with hornblende amphibolite, amphibolite and rusty paragneiss. Molybdenite is found within a calcite-mica-pyroxenite pegmatite.

Jul 15, 2011 (A Wilson) - In 1915 the company shipped a small quantity of concentrate, but the majority of the product was shipped in the form of molybdic acid. The molybdenite occurs as large crystalline flakes associated with disseminated pyrite and pyrrhotite. The molybdenite flakes were generally > ½ inch in size. The mineralization consists of erratically distributed masses of coarse-grained pyrite, pyrrhotite and molybdenite contained within the biotite-pyroxenite zones. Grab sample R77-88-1 assayed 3700 ppm U3O8 and 820 ppm Th and grab sample R77-80-4 assayed 3000 ppm U3O8 and 430 ppm Th. R77-80-4 was a sample of biotite rich marble.
