Jul 28, 2017 (A Wilson) - Keewatin volcanics are intruded by 1100 ft. thick Nipissing sill with east dip that steepened along north- striking “roll”. The sill encloses a large xenolith of Lorrain granite. The Beaver Fault with steep east dip was initiated by the granite intrusion. Most silver and cobalt production was obtained from veins Nos. 3 and 5 in Keewatin rocks near contact abov sill, a little in the sill and some in the granite xenolith. Some production below the sill was obtained in Keewatin rocks from vein 1600-1.
