Jan 13, 2023 (Therese Pettigrew) - Two sulphide mineral concentrations were found in a metagabbro sill east of the Windigo River. At the north locality, 5 to 10 percent disseminated pyrite, sparse 1-millimetre to 2-millimetre wide pyrite veins, and rare chalcopyrite are associated with numerous poorly mineralized quartz lenses as much as 2 feet wide in a sheared phase of the sill. The mineralized zone was traced along strike for several hundred feet. Two grab samples collected by the author from this zone gave upon assay trace to 0.1% copper and trace amounts of gold and nickel (Ayres, 1969).
