Pre 1909 : A pit 35 ft long, 4-15 ft wide and 1-6 ft deep was sunk on a vein of massive blue hematite (5-6 ft wide) in brecciated marble. There were 9 other pits close by on a zone striking N40E and 175 ft or more long, probably 1,500 ft. Hematite seems to occur throughout the White Lake area in the marble, often associated with quartz veining.
Province: Grenville
Geological Age: Mesoproterozoic
Dec 07, 2005 (C Papertzian) - Disseminated hematite occurs in a fault breccia in dolomitic marble (with quartz veining) . This zone appears to be at least 90 m wide and possibly 300 m long. Fe runs about 62 %. The White Lake deposit is very similar to the Fahey deposit and may be a continuation of it.
