Jan 25, 2017 (A Wilson) - A magnetite-pyroxene rock (with minor hornblende, apatite, feldspar and gieseckite), initially believed to be a differentiation phase of the Glamorgan Gabbro. It is actually related to the nepheline rocks, as shown by the presence of abundant gieseckite. This may not have been recognized earlier, before there was blasting. Specimens vary from magnetite with a few grains of pyroxene to a magnetite pyroxenite. At the old Pusey property several very interesting rocks are to be seen. On a low knoll beside a long abandoned logging road theralite and theralitic canadite are separated from the underlying limestones by a 2-3 foot thick layer of nepheline oligoclase-biotite-(graphite)-(calcite) gneiss believed to represent nephelinized marble adjacent to an igneous intrusion.

Jan 25, 2017 (A Wilson) - Streaks and disseminations occur in a zone 1,800 x 70 x 300 ft. but there is no large body of ore grade. Assays from two samples returned Fe values of 44.10% and Fe values of 41.91%. Magnetite forms from an estimated 1 to 30% of the rock. Two selected samples assayed 44.10 and 41.91% Fe, 13.52 and 14.91% TiO2 and 0.52 and 0.04% V2O5. A partial analysis of a sample taken from different parts of the deposit includes 52.04% Fe, 0.06% Sulphur, trace phosphorus and 13.30% Titanium dioxide.
