Lithology Comments

Jul 28, 2017 (A Wilson) - The claim is underlain by Keewatin rocks which have been intruded by lamprophyre dikes and other basic intrusives as well as a quartz diabase dike presumably of Keweenawan age. A well-marked northerly topographic depression through Green Lake may indicate the presence of a fault.
