Point Location Description: Point 2.75 km E of Clay Lake, con 4, lot 22.
Location Method: Conversion from MDI
Access Description: The deposits are located along both sides of Hwy 511, about 14.5 km S of Calabogie.
The widely-separated zones of magnetite mineralization which make up the Darling Iron Deposit are all marked by small pits put down by unknown operators pre-1909. Some small shipments (2 cars from lots 21, 22, con 4) were made.
Province: Grenville
Geological Age: Mesoproterozoic
Dec 07, 2005 (C Papertzian) - The Darling Iron Deposit consists of several small, widely-spaced lenses of magnetite mineralization that are contained within a NE-trending succession of mafic volcanics and minor marble. Mineralization consists of fine-grained magnetite disseminated within the mafic volcanic in a similar way to that at the Yuill deposit. This is probably volcanogenic in origin. Fe 24.21 % -61.17 % (1909-10) Easton (1988) states that (concerning cons 3, 4 and 5) near Little Green Lake the magnerite is hosted in altered gabbro of the Lavant Gabbro Complex. NE of Hwy 55 the host rock is protomylonitic gabbro of the Lavant Gabbro Complex within the RLMZ. Magnetic anomalies over these deposits (1952, 1985) indicate that they might be larger than previously thought.
