1939-40: Buckhorn Mining Syndicate Limited - pitting
Province: Grenville
Subprovince: Central Metasedimentary Belt
Geological Age: Mesoproterozoic
Aug 25, 2011 (C Papertzian) - Satterly observed interbedded marble, biotite gneiss and amphibolite at the first pit. The bands were typically 4 feet wide and the bedding strikes N75°E and dips 85-90°. At the second, more southerly pit, a granite pegmatite cut through the marble and gneiss. The marble and associated metasedimentary rocks occur as a large xenolith along the margin of a trondhjeimitic to granodioritic intrusion.

Aug 25, 2011 (A Wilson) - Satterly noted that pyrite and pyrrhotite were finely disseminated throughout the amphibolite gneiss at both of the pits. Rare molybdenite was observed at the largest of the pits. Pegmatized fractures at this pit are associated with lenses of coarsely crystalline pyrite and pyrrhotite.
