Sep 09, 2016 (A Wilson) - The contact with the enclosing biotite gneisses is sharp and near vertical where exposed on the southwest side of the dike. Several inclusions of the gneisses appear to be partially assimilated by the pegmatite in the northern exposed section of the dike. One exploration pit and two limited production pits have been excavated into the dike in past years. A very small stockpile of potassium feldspar remains on the site. No radioactive minerals were observed.
