Nov 03, 2017 (A Wilson) - This occurrence is in Best township about one quarter mile south of the southwest end of Rib Lake. The occurrence consists of a number of veins up to 18 centimeters wide intersecting Coleman Formation conglomerate; one vein strikes N5°W, and dips 45°E. The veins are largely quartz, with minor amounts of red feldspar, white calcite, epidote and deep green chlorite; chalcopyrite, in irregular splashes, and pyrite are present. Where exposed the veins appeared to contain too little chalcopyrite to be of economic importance. At the time of the writer's visit (1965) the WKT Mining and Exploration Co. had put down three shallow diamond drill holes to explore the occurrence.
