Jun 24, 2011 (A Wilson) - Concentrations of titaniferous magnetite occur as patches or poorly-defined zones within the meta-gabbro. These concentrations are of variable width and continuity and are believed to represent partial to almost complete replacements of the meta-gabbro. In plan, their boundaries are usually gradational but, in some instances, the mineralization terminates abruptly against minor slips or joints. Where observed in section, the concentrations of magnetite appear to confirm to the dip of the gneissic banding. The showing consists of several lenses of magnetite exposed along a strike length of 1650 feet. The largest lens is 575 feet long and averages 12.5 feet in width. The next largest lens lies 700 feet away, is 175 feet away and averages 12.5 feet in width. Both lenses dip 75°.

The largest (western) lens contains 900 short tons per vertical foot of 0.78% V2O3, 9.1% TiO2,, and 35.4% Fe. The second (eastern) lens contains 0.75% V2O3, 6.6% TiO2,, and 35.0% Fe. Assays from Mattawa Iron drilling returned values up to 0.91% V2O3 over 33 ft.
