Aug 26, 2011 (A Wilson) - Magnetite is disseminated in a gabbroic intrusion near the contact with the underlying marble. The zone is exposed as a lens for a length of about 75 feet and a height of 8 feet. Carter et. al. observed that there is a well developed calc-silicate schist zone in the marble along the contact between the two rock types. All of the rock units strike northwesterly and dip moderately (60°) to the northeast

Aug 26, 2011 (A Wilson) - A grab sample collected by Fréchette returned an analysis of 38.80% Fe, 37.40% insolubles, 0.13% P, 0.179% S and 4.96% TiO2. The disseminated magnetite occurs in a conformable lens approximately 4.6 m thick that lies within the gabbro just above its contact with the calc-silicate schist. The magnetite is usually intimately intergrown with amphibole and plagioclase, but there are some layers of massive magnetite up to 1.2 m thick.
