Aug 24, 2017 (A Wilson) - Nipissing diabase dips south-east under Cobalt Series conglomerate towards the Lorrain diabase basin in the northwest part of the claim. The Cobalt Series conglomerate strikes east-northeast with a shallow SSE dip. Hornblende syenite, feldspar porphyry and feldspathic dikes cut the metavolcanics. The dikes are narrow, having a maximum width of 3 to 5 cm. The metavolcanics have been intruded by dibasic rocks. Biotite lamprophyre dikes also cut the metavolcanics, but could not be followed continuously. The sedimentary rocks of the Coleman Member overlie the metavolcanics. All of the above-mentioned rocks have been intruded by Nipissing quartz diabase. The veins are up to 0.6 m in volcanics, intrusives and sediments.

Aug 24, 2017 (A Wilson) - The surface silver showing in in a vein two feet wide was blasted out with the first round, and while from time to time in the shaft sinking silver was found the quantities were small. The best assay from the drill core was 0.04 oz. Ag/t over 0.1 m.
