Geology Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (C Papertzian) - A showing of apatite that appears to be a vein, traced over ' quite a distance ' on lot 3 or 4 and probably a continuation of that seen directly E on an island in Long Lake. This was first reported in 1890 and not mentioned again; all later reports refer to the presence of apatite on lot 4, con 3 - making the latter location rather dubious.
