Mineralization Comments

Jan 11, 2017 (A Wilson) - The largest deposits are on Lots 20, 21 and 22, Concession 3, Snowdon Township, which extend onto Lots 22 and 23, Concession 4, Snowdon Township. The tremolite occurs as coarse-grained aggregates with 2 to 5 mm thick layers of coarse-grained quartz. Minor diopside is present, few other impurities are present in the marbles. Although quartz is a contaminant, its coarse grain size and presence as layers rather than as disseminated grains make removal of the quartz from the tremolite relatively easily.
