Geology Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (C Papertzian) - This property is in an area of multiple talc occurrences which has been explored by the OGS. Talc mineralization is hosted in mafic-ultramafic metavolcanics along the W margin of the Elzevir Batholith. An 8 km long zone stretches from Cooper in the N to Queensborough in the S, and some detailed mapping by the OGS has been carried out in the latter area. See ' Young Talc ', MDI31C11SW00051.
