Nov 06, 2013 (A Wilson) - Some bands of gneiss contain considerable graphite in flakes from 1/8 to ¼ of an inch in diameter. Other bands are mineralized with finely disseminated pyrrhotite and the occasional small flake of molybdenite. The pyrrhotite and molybdenite occurs in rusty-weathering bands adjacent to the graphitic zone. The graphite zone was exposed in the old pit for a width of approximately 2 feet. The band contains an estimated 10% graphite.
