Aug 01, 2017 (A Wilson) - Flat lying Cobalt Series sediments about 90 ft. thick unconformably overlie steeply dipping Keewatin Volcanics that strike WNW. Vein No. 1 responsible for most of the production similarly strikes WNW. Most silver production came from the vein with a gangue of calcite in the sediments; cobalt mineralization with a gangue of quartz-calcite persists into the volcanics, where the vein follows an interflow bed.
