Lithology Comments

Jan 23, 2017 (A Wilson) - The deposits invariably occur within moderate to high-grade metamorphic rocks (amphibolite to granulite facies) of the Grenville Supergroup, spatially removed from gold-quartz vein deposits which are preferentially concentrated within low-grade metamorphic rocks.

Mineralization Comments

Jan 23, 2017 (A Wilson) - In the southeastern Ontario deposits mineralization consists of very erratically dispersed coarse flakes of molybdenite, commonly in association with pyrite and pyrrhotite. Some of the deposits are enriched in uranium. The deposits are generally small, are locally high-grade (up to 1 % MoS2) and are erratically distributed over a wide area.
