Oct 30, 2020 (Sheree Hinz) - Pink and white quartz carbonate veins occur. Chalcopyrite and pyrite are present. Cobalt mineralization occurred in small quantities. Traces of pyrite and chalcopyrite were reported within the contact area of the diabase and sediments and occur in fractures parallel to the. Cobaltite was reported in the dumps of the McKinnon Mine where it occurs as very fine disseminations in carbonate veins. Assays of the vein material for silver were very low with the highest being 0.63 oz/ton Ag.
