Feb 27, 2019 (Sheree Hinz) - The deposit is located near the southwest end of a small syenite intrusion within an amphibolite or hornblende gneiss of unknown origin. The amphibolite is a black, very compact, medium-grained rock composed essentially of hornblende and minor clinopyroxene. Mineralization consists of magnetite as disseminated grains within the amphibolite and as rare massive lenses.

Aug 22, 2011 (A Wilson) - The ore body was reportedly 20 feet thick and dipped approximately 60° SE. A sample of the ore collected in 1914 returned the following analysis: 58.71% Fe, 0.056% Al2O3, 2.05% CaO and 5.7% MgO. A sample collected by the OGS in 1979 assayed: 54.7% Fe, 24.2% FeO, 0.11% TiO2, 0.16% P2O5, 0.01% S and 0.1% V. The mineralization consists of disseminated magnetite. The magnetite also occurs in rare lenses Total production from the site was approximately 4000 tons (3629 tonnes)
