Jul 28, 2020 (P Bousquet) - OFR6366 Excerpt: The Kamiskotia Gabbroic Complex spans the northeastern Carscallen, northern Whitesides, eastern and central Massey, northeastern Enid, central Côté, southern Robb, western and northern Turnbull, and western Godfrey townships (Barrie 1992). The Complex consists of 4 zones as defined in Barrie (1992): a partly layered, olivine-bearing cumulate Lower Zone (LZ); gabbro-norite and anorthositic gabbro-norite cumulate of the Middle Zone (MZ); partly layered, ferroan gabbro-norite, anorthositic gabbro-norite and hornblende gabbro cumulates of the Upper Zone (UZ); and granophyric rocks of intermediate and felsic composition above and along strike with the UZ (Barrie 1992; Hart 1984).

Jul 28, 2020 (P Bousquet) - Excerpt from OFR6366: There are outcrops of the KGC southwest of Kamiskotia Lake forming a noticeable elevation. This area shows as a magnetic high (Wolf 1970), probably related to the Upper Zone ferroan gabbro-norite. Cumulus magnetite crystals, which can be found in the Upper Zone, may contain up to 2.5% V2O3 (Barrie 1990).

Jul 28, 2020 (P Bousquet) - A sample taken on Kamiskotia Hill returned an assay of 19.19% Fe2O3, 3.23% TiO2, and 0.15% V2O5 (808 ppm vanadium; OFR6366). The sample was noticeably magnetic.
